Musical Intervention and Patient's Anxiety During Central Venous Catheter Insertion in the Intensive Care Unit

An interventional study of usual care and Musical intervention in Anxiety and Pain, sponsored by Centre Hospitalier Régional d'Orléans. Completed at 1 site in France. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2019-05-06.

Registry
Anxiety Disorders — the first condition term the registry derived for this study.

Pain
Why
  1. The registry often attaches Anxiety Disorders to studies about something else, and this study's title and listed conditions do not name it.
  2. The study's listed conditions name Pain.
Confidence
High: the new condition is named in the study's own listed conditions. Of 351 hand-checked studies reclassified this way, 68% were exactly right and 84% in the right disease family; the registry's first term was right for 5% (measured 2026-10-21). How we classify →

Study summary

Intensive care unit patients who have to undergo central venous catheter insertion and are able to hear explanations and to gave consent, will be randomized to either usual care during catheter insertion or to a musical intervention added to usual care.

The primary objective will be to assess the patient's anxiety just after catheter insertion. Secondary outcome measures will be the patient-reported pain, the duration of catheter insertion, and the need for additional anxiolytic or sedative drugs during catheter insertion.

Read the detailed description

Patient informed consent will be obtained before any other study specific procedure.

Computer-generated randomization with 1:1 allocation ratio will be stratified by the site of catheter insertion (superior vena cava or femoral), and by the ventilatory status (patient mechanically ventilated or not). Block size, not known by the investigators, of 4 or 6 will be used. Randomization group for each patient will be kept concealed into sealed opaque envelops until inclusion once consent obtained.

Anxiety, the primary outcome measure, and pain related to the catheter insertion will be assessed using two distinct Visual Analogic Scales.

In the usual care group, the catheter will be inserted using the Seldinger method, under local anesthesia with 2% lidocaine, with ultrasound guidance, after proper skin antisepsis, surgical operator's hand washing and antisepsis, and use of sterile drapes, gowns and gloves.

In the intervention group, in addition to the usual care procedures as described above, a musical U-shaped session will be delivered to the patient through headphones, using a tablet computer and the "MUSIC CARE" music program, a validated program for use in health care.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. anxiety assessed using a visual analog scale (VAS)

    self-reported patient's anxiety assessed using a 100mm-visual analog scale, extending from 0 mm ("no anxiety") to 100 mm ("worst anxiety ever experienced")

    Time frame: 30 minutes

Secondary outcomes

  1. pain assessed using a visual analog scale (VAS)

    self-reported patient's pain assessed using a 100mm-visual analog scale, extending from 0 mm ("no pain") to 100 mm ("the worst pain possible")

    Time frame: 30 minutes

  2. duration of the catheter insertion

    started with local anesthesia and ending with the application of the dressing on catheter insertion site.

    Time frame: 10-30 min

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Feb 2018 to primary completion in Feb 2019, 12 months.

Of 3,734 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Pain, half reached primary completion within 10 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 4 and three quarters within 23. This study's 12 months is above that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 3,833 studies reached it within 10 months; a quarter within 4 and three quarters within 23.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on May 6, 2019, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
