About this trial

The study, "Effect of Listening to Standardized Music Sequences on Preventing Postoperative Pain in Proctologic Surgery," aims to evaluate the impact of preoperative listening to standardized music sequences on postoperative pain in patients undergoing proctologic surgery (for hemorrhoids, fistulas, or anal fissures).

This research will assess the influence of preoperative music on postoperative pain management, the use of analgesics after surgery and during the following month, and its effect on the quality of life post-surgery.

MUSICO-PROCTO is an interventional, randomized study involving two groups (patients will be randomly assigned to either the music intervention or control group). The study is monocentric, conducted at Clinique Saint Vincent in France, and includes 550 participants.

Participants will be followed for 28 days, while the overall study duration will span 28 months.

To participate, individuals must:

Be aged 18 or older. Be affiliated with a social security system. Provide signed informed consent. Undergo proctologic surgery for hemorrhoids, fistulas, or anal fissures. This study seeks to explore the potential of music as a complementary method to improve postoperative outcomes.

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Standardized Music Listening Therapy

    Other intervention

    Type of Intervention: Pre- and postoperative listening to standardized music sequences designed specifically for relaxation and pain management. Delivery Method: Sessions are conducted via the Music Care® application, using a tablet and headphones provided during hospitalization. Participants select their preferred music style, tempo, and tracks to tailor the experience to their preferences. Duration and Schedule: Pre-surgery: One 20-minute session in a dedicated room before entering the operating theater. Post-surgery: Daily 20-minute sessions at home for 28 days post-surgery using participants' own devices (smartphone, tablet, or computer). Purpose: To evaluate the effect of music on reducing postoperative pain, minimizing analgesic use, and improving the quality of life. Distinctiveness: This intervention uniquely integrates patient-controlled music preferences with a structured listening regimen before and after surgery, offering a personalized approach to enhancing recovery outcom
