Summary
This trial will test whether music can help people recover from cardiac surgery by reducing anxiety, pain, and stress.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 who've had heart valve or coronary surgery and are stable, extubated, and can hear. It's not for those who are deaf, unstable, intubated, or on infection precautions post-surgery.
What is being tested?
The study tests if listening to music for 30 minutes helps recovery after cardiac surgery by looking at stress hormones like cortisol and immune markers like Immunoglobulin A compared to usual care without music.
What are the potential side effects?
Music as an intervention is expected to have little to no side effects while potentially improving emotional well-being and physical responses during early recovery.
