The use of music during surgery has been shown to have a significant impact on reducing the amount of anesthesia and pain medication required by patients. A recent study published in the Journal of Medicine aimed to evaluate the effects of music therapy on patients undergoing thyroid surgery. The study involved 80 patients who were randomly assigned to either a music group or a control group. The music group listened to classical music through headphones during surgery, while the control group wore silent headphones. The results showed that the music group required approximately 23% less fentanyl and rocuronium compared to the control group. Additionally, the music group had significantly lower post-operative pain scores. Another study published in the Journal of Music and Medicine cited by Dr. Schwartz, highlights the benefits of music in surgery, including reduced anesthesia use and improved patient satisfaction. In conclusion, this simple and cost-effective music intervention not only reduces anesthesia use and post-operative pain but also has the potential to improve patient satisfaction and should be incorporated into standard care.
