Effect of Music During Carotid Endarterectomy

An interventional study of music and operating room noise in Anxiety State, sponsored by Antalya Training and Research Hospital. Completed at 1 site in Turkey. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 70 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2019-01-04.

Study summary

The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that music listening during carotid endarterectomy administered the cervical plexus block will cause less anxiety, less pain, and greater patient satisfaction.

Read the detailed description

Patients who decided to participate in the study were randomized by means of a computer-generated randomization order into 2 groups: Music Group (Group M) and Operating Room (OR) Noise Group (Group O). Randomization was independently carried out in both centers.

Preoperative and postoperative State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) scores, intraoperative STAI responses, preoperative and postoperative numerical rating scale scores for anxiety, pain scores and hemodynamic parameters were recorded.

Inclusion criteria

  • Patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy using cervical plexus block
  • class 2 to 3
  • Ability to consent

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • inability to communicate
  • not understand the aim and objectives of the study
  • not provide informed written consent
  • for the block (local infection, coagulation disorders)
  • to the local anesthetics
  • refusal of regional anesthesia
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(3)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

ASA physical status

The anaesthetists’ scale of health before surgery: I is healthy, II has a mild illness that is under control, III a severe one, IV a severe illness that is a constant threat to life. V and VI are used for the critically ill and for organ donors.

Contraindication

A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Differences in intraoperative State-Trait Anxiety Inventory Response (relaxed )

    Assessed every 5 minutes during the procedure. The question is "are you relaxed" and patient is asked to answer the question on a scale of "very much, moderately, somewhat, or not at all"

    Time frame: 60 minutes

Secondary outcomes

  1. Differences in intraoperative State-Trait Anxiety Inventory Response (calm)

    Assessed every 5 minutes during the procedure. The questions is "are you calm" and patient is asked to answer the question on a scale of "very much, moderately, somewhat, or not at all"

    Time frame: 60 minutes

  2. Differences in postoperative anxiety numerical rating scale scores

    assessed 5 min after the procedure. Numeric Rating Scale (NRS): from 0 (no anxiety) to 10 (worst feeling of anxiety possible)

    Time frame: 10 minutes

  3. Differences in preoperative State-Trait Anxiety Inventory scores

    assessed 1 day before surgery. The total score on the scale ranges from 20 to 80 points and a higher score represents greater anxiety.

    Time frame: 20 minutes

  4. Differences in postoperative State-Trait Anxiety Inventory scores

    assessed 1st day after surgery. The total score on the scale ranges from 20 to 80 points and a higher score represents greater anxiety.

    Time frame: 20 minutes

  5. Differences in pain scores

    assessed 5th min after surgery. (from 0 (no pain) to 10 (maximal possible pain))

    Time frame: 10 minutes

  6. Changes in mean arterial pressure

    Assessed every 5 minutes during the procedure

    Time frame: 60 minutes

  7. Changes in heart rate

    Assessed every 5 minutes during the procedure

    Time frame: 60 minutes

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 Mar 2018 to primary completion in Jul 2018, 4 months.

Of 3,841 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Anxiety Disorders, half reached primary completion within 12 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 5 and three quarters within 28. This study's 4 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 3,943 studies reached it within 12 months; a quarter within 5 and three quarters within 28.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

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 Jan 4, 2019, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
