Summary

"This trial aims to see if a personalized music relaxation technique, collecting biological samples, and using a mobile device for patient feedback is practical and well-received for adults in the hospital recovering from pancreatic surgery and

Who is the study for?
This trial is for English-speaking adults who are scheduled for pancreatic surgery (Whipple procedure or Distal pancreatectomy) at UH Cleveland Medical Center and report post-surgery pain of 4/10 or higher. It's not suitable for those who don't meet the language and pain criteria.
What is being tested?
The study tests a tailored music-assisted relaxation and imagery intervention (MARI) to see if it helps with acute pain after pancreatic surgery. It also looks into how well patients accept biological sample collection and using mobile devices to report their outcomes.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves music therapy, there are no direct physical side effects expected from the intervention itself. However, participants may experience varied emotional responses to the music therapy.
