Effects of Music on Pain and Anxiety During Otolaryngology Surgery: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.
Review in OTO open. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Objective: Patients undergoing surgery commonly experience anxiety during their procedure which can negatively affect surgical outcomes. Music therapy has emerged as a promising noninvasive approach to reducing anxiety particularly in patients undergoing otolaryngology procedures.The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of music therapy on anxiety and pain during these procedures. Data Sources: PubMed and Embase. Review Methods: A systematic search was conducted using the PRISMA approach to retrieve articles published between 1980 and March 2024. The search terms were applied to PubMed and Embase databases. The search term yielded a total of 669 articles on PubMed and 1027 articles on Embase, 5 of which met the inclusion criteria. Results: Five studies consisting of 4 randomized controlled trials and one case-control studies were included in our study, resulting in a total of 381 patients undergoing various otolaryngology procedures. Music therapy was found to reduce preoperative, perioperative, and postoperative anxiety and pain levels compared to control groups. Furthermore, patients who received music therapy experienced improvements in physiological parameters such as heart rate and blood pressure, indicating a positive impact on stress. Conclusion: Music therapy offers a potentially cost-effective and noninvasive method of reducing anxiety and pain in otolaryngological surgery patients. Our study indicates that music therapy can serve as a valuable addition to traditional pharmacological approaches in managing surgery-related anxiety and pain. However, more research is needed to standardize music therapy protocols and compare its effect in comparison to other nonpharmacologic and pharmacologic modalities to optimize care for patients.
