Effect of favorite music on postoperative anxiety and pain

The impact of perioperative music on abdominal surgery patients’ experience of postoperative pain: A systematic review and meta-analysis

“…Vaajoki et al (2012) was the only study that did not mention the surgery type, instead they listed the patient diagnosis. Surgical time varied greatly between studies, ranging from 20min to 2.6h, but Sfakianakis et al (2017) and Kavak Akelma et al (2020) did not report a mean surgical time.…”

“…It shows that 49 articles were removed for being duplicates, 187 were removed for not meeting the inclusion criteria based on abstract and title and that nine were excluded for not meeting criteria after the full text was screened. The remaining 12 articles (Ebneshahidi & Mohseni 2008, Good et al 1999, Graversen & Sommer 2013, Ikonomidou et al 2004, Kahloul et al 2017, Kavak Akelma et al 2020, Miladinia et al 2017, Nilsson et al 2001, 2005, Şen et al 2010, Sfakianakis et al 2017, Vaajoki et al 2012) were included in the final systematic review, but only (Ebneshahidi & Mohseni 2008, Good et al 1999, Ikonomidou et al 2004, Kahloul et al 2017, Nilsson et al 2001, 2005, Sfakianakis et al 2017, Vaajoki et al 2012) were eligible to be part of the meta-analysis.…”

“…Of the included 12 studies, nine included details of randomisation methods, of which five studies (Good et al 1999, Kavak Akelma et al 2020, Nilsson et al 2001, 2005, Şen et al 2010) included a description of allocation concealment that was adequate to prevent selection bias. Blinding of subjects and intervention personnel only occurred in two studies (Nilsson et al, 2001, 2005) meaning that the other ten studies could suffer from performance bias.…”

“…Opioid requirements between the intervention group and the control group were measured in all but two studies (Kavak Akelma et al 2020, Sfakianakis et al 2017). Opioid requirements were measured but not reported in five of the studies (Good et al 1999, Graversen & Sommer 2013, Kahloul et al 2017, Nilsson et al 2001, 2005, Vaajoki et al 2012).…”

“…Opioid requirements were measured but not reported in five of the studies (Good et al 1999, Graversen & Sommer 2013, Kahloul et al 2017, Nilsson et al 2001, 2005, Vaajoki et al 2012). Four studies showed a significantly less amount of opioid was used by the intervention group compared with the control (Ebneshahidi & Mohseni 2008, Ikonomidou et al 2004, Kavak Akelma et al 2020, Miladinia et al 2017, Şen et al 2010). However, Nilsson et al (2001) found that within the same study, opioid requirements were only lower when the intervention was postoperative rather than intraoperative.…”
