Retrospective Analysis of the Influence of Music Therapy Combined with Noise Reduction Technology in Dental Implant Patients.

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
objectiveThis study aimed to examine the effects of music therapy combined with noise reduction technology on anxiety and pain perception in dental patients.
methodsClinical records of 148 edentulous patients receiving dental implantation from April 2022 to April 2025 were retrospectively reviewed. Groups were stratified by institutional protocol timelines: conventional group (n = 50, standard care only, April 2022-June 2023), music group (n = 49, standard care plus music therapy, July 2023-June 2024) and noise reduction group (n = 49, standard care, music therapy and active noise control, July 2024-April 2025). Comparative metrics included pre-therapy versus post-therapy anxiety [Modified Dental Anxiety Scale (MDAS) and State Anxiety Inventory (S-AI)]; intraoperative pain perception [Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)] during osteotomy preparation, implant placement and gingival suturing and perioperative physiological parameters [heart rate (HR) and systolic/diastolic blood pressure (SBP/DBP)] at 30 minutes preoperatively, during implant placement and during suturing.
resultsCompared with pre-therapy baselines, all groups exhibited reduced MDAS and S-AI scores post-therapy (P < 0.05), with the noise reduction group demonstrating lower scores than the music and conventional groups, and the music group had lower values than the conventional group (P < 0.05). VAS scores during osteotomy, implant placement and suturing were lower in the noise reduction group than in the other groups (P < 0.05), whereas the music group showed reduced scores versus the conventional group at all surgical phases (P < 0.05). At 30 minutes before the operation, elevated HR/SBP/DBP occurred during implant placement/suturing in all groups (P < 0.05), with the noise reduction group maintaining lower levels than the two other groups, and the music group demonstrated lower values than the conventional group during both surgical phases (P < 0.05).
conclusionThe integration of music therapy with noise reduction technology may alleviate anxiety and pain perception in dental implant patients, potentially attenuating perioperative physiological stress responses. However, as a retrospective investigation, these findings reflect associative trends requiring validation through prospective randomised controlled trials.
