title: The effect of complementary music therapy on the patient's postoperative state anxiety, pain control, and environmental noise satisfaction.
abstract: Postoperative pain is difficult to manage with analgesia alone. Complementary interventions such as music therapy provide a level of distraction, thus promoting comfort. In this study, decreased pain and environmental noise were demonstrated, without diminishing state anxiety, in a group of postoperative patients.
