About this trial
The purpose of this study is to see if propranolol and etodolac along with mind-body resilience training/MBRT and music therapy help participants who are experiencing physiological stress before, during, and after primary debulking surgery/PDS or IDS and also if it's better than the standard-of-care approach (no intervention for reducing stress).

Treatments tested in this trial
Mind-body resilience training
BehavioralMBRT is a meditation technique used to achieve relaxation)
Music therapy
BehavioralMusic listening was found, in multiple trials, to significantly reduce self-reported anxiety, physiologic indicators of anxiety, and/or sedation requirements
Propranolol
DrugPropranolol 20 mg PO BID (for 21 consecutive days), Propranolol 10mg PO BID (for 3 consecutive days POD 14-16)

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Number of participants successfully completing over 80% of the bundled interventions
The primary objective of this study is to investigate the feasibility of implementing a multimodal PSRB in women undergoing PDS or IDS for advanced EOC. This will be measured as number of patients successfully completing over 80% of the bundled interventions, including a preoperative integrative medicine session, postoperative integrative medicine session, total intravenous anesthesia on day of surgery, and perioperative beta blocker and COX2 inhibitor
