This randomized controlled trial evaluated the effect of a personalized music intervention on anxiety and pain in patients undergoing cataract surgery under local anesthesia. A total of 100 patients were randomly assigned to an intervention group or a control group. Patients in the intervention group received a structured personalized music intervention during surgery based on their musical preferences, while patients in the control group received standard care. Anxiety was assessed before and immediately after surgery using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-State (STAI-S), and pain was assessed immediately after surgery and two hours after surgery using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). The study aimed to determine whether personalized music provided during cataract surgery could reduce patients' anxiety and pain compared with standard care.

Participants assigned to this arm received a structured personalized music intervention during cataract surgery in addition to standard perioperative care. The music intervention was individualized based on participant preferences and delivered intraoperatively for approximately 30 minutes.
Behavioral: Structured Personalized Music Intervention
Participants assigned to this arm received standard perioperative care for cataract surgery without the structured personalized music intervention.
Participants received a structured personalized music intervention during cataract surgery. Music was individualized according to participant preferences using a structured assessment of music preferences. Instrumental music with a tempo of approximately 60-100 beats per minute was selected and delivered in the operating room for approximately 30 minutes during surgery, in addition to standard perioperative care.
State Anxiety Level Assessed Using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-State (STAI-S)
State anxiety was assessed using the 20-item State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-State (STAI-S), with total scores ranging from 20 to 80. Higher scores indicate greater levels of state anxiety. STAI-S was administered approximately 1 hour before surgery and immediately after surgery to evaluate perioperative state anxiety.
Time frame: Approximately 1 hour before surgery and immediately after surgery
Pain Intensity Assessed Using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS)
Pain intensity was assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain), with higher scores indicating greater pain intensity. Pain was assessed immediately after surgery and 2 hours after surgery to evaluate postoperative pain.
Time frame: Immediately after surgery and 2 hours after surgery
Plan to share: No — Individual participant data will not be shared because data sharing was not included in the original study protocol or informed consent process.

Ran from Sep 2023 to primary completion in May 2024, 7 months.
Of 302 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Cataract, half reached primary completion within 18 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 7 and three quarters within 30. This study's 7 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 492 studies reached it within 17 months; a quarter within 9 and three quarters within 28.
