About this trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if personalized natural sound therapy works better than standardized natural sound therapy for reducing procedural pain during negative pressure wound therapy dressing changes. The study will also assess whether personalized and standardized sound therapy differ in their effects on participants' anxiety and physiological responses during the dressing-change procedure.
The main questions it aims to answer are
* Does personalized natural sound therapy reduce procedural pain more effectively than standardized natural sound therapy during negative pressure wound therapy dressing changes? * Does personalized natural sound therapy reduce anxiety during the dressing-change procedure? Researchers will compare personalized natural sound therapy with standardized natural sound therapy to determine whether tailoring the sound intervention to each participant provides greater relief from procedural pain during negative pressure wound therapy dressing changes.
Participants will:
* Receive either personalized natural sound therapy or standardized natural sound therapy during their negative pressure wound therapy dressing change. * Listen to the assigned natural sounds throughout the dressing-change procedure. * Report their level of procedural pain using a validated pain assessment scale before, during, and/or after the dressing change. * Report their anxiety level using a validated anxiety assessment scale. * Complete the study assessments according to the scheduled dressing-change procedure.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Adults aged 18 years or older.
Patients receiving negative pressure wound therapy requiring a dressing change.
Patients who are able to communicate verbally and understand the study procedures.
Patients who are able to report their pain and anxiety using the study assessment tools.
Disqualifiers
Patients with cognitive impairment or altered level of consciousness that prevents reliable communication or outcome assessment.

Treatments tested in this trial
Personalized Natural Sound Therapy
BehavioralParticipants will listen to a natural sound selected according to their individual preference during the negative pressure wound therapy dressing change.
Standardized Natural Sound Therapy
BehavioralParticipants will listen to the same predetermined natural sound during the negative pressure wound therapy dressing change.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Procedural pain intensity during negative pressure wound therapy dressing change
Pain intensity experienced by participants during the negative pressure wound therapy dressing change, assessed using the Visual Analogue Scale
Secondary outcomes
Procedural anxiety
Participant-reported anxiety associated with the negative pressure wound therapy dressing change, assessed using a validated anxiety assessment scale. Higher scores indicate greater anxiety.
