Music Listening on Preoperative Anxiety in Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery

Official Title:

The Effect of Music Listening on Preoperative Anxiety in Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery: A Randomized Trial

Summary

Can music listening decrease a patient's anxiety before surgery? The investigators hypothesize that music listening will decrease a patient's pre-operative anxiety significantly more than no music listening.

The investigators aim to see if additional variables affect a patient's anxiety and response to music listening, such as demographic factors (age, race, prior surgical experience, type of surgery planned) and music background (experience playing a musical instrument, music listening habits). The investigators also aim to see if pre-operative music listening is associated with improved patient satisfaction.
