The Impact of Listening to Music During MRI-Fusion Prostate Biopsy Procedures on Pain and Anxiety Levels

Study Overview

This study explores how listening to music during combined biopsy (CBx) procedures affects pain and anxiety levels in patients. CBx combines two types of biopsies for better diagnosis but can be more uncomfortable than traditional methods.

Methods

In a Turkish hospital, 149 patients with suspicious prostate lesions participated in the study from May to August 2023. After a targeted biopsy, patients underwent a systematic biopsy. Some patients listened to classical music during the procedure, while others wore noise-canceling headphones without music. Pain and anxiety were measured using questionnaires right after the procedure.

Results

The findings showed:

Pain Levels: The music group reported a median pain score of 3.6, while the control group reported 5.4 (p < 0.001).
Anxiety Levels: The music group had a median anxiety score of 38, compared to 44 in the control group (p < 0.001).

There was no significant difference in general anxiety levels between the two groups.

Conclusion

Listening to music during CBx significantly reduces pain and anxiety. This simple and cost-effective solution can be easily integrated into routine procedures, offering a non-invasive way to improve patient comfort.

Practical Solutions and Value

Implementing music during medical procedures can:

Enhance patient comfort and satisfaction.
Be a low-cost addition to pain management strategies.
Be easily accessible and non-invasive.
