Brief Summary

Anxiety, fright, stress and pain have always been sources of emotional distress for patients undergoing invasive procedures in clinical settings. Experts have long used traditional methods such as analgesics and anxiolytics to address these issues. But, backed by a movement aiming at reducing the use of pharmacological products, alternative interventions, including music therapy, have gained some steam in recent years. These interventions may have the ability to reduce pain and anxiety while increasing relaxation, coping skills and the overall experience of the procedure. For orthopedic surgery, anesthetics could propose general anesthesia or locoregional anesthesia. The upper limb orthopedic surgery is often performed under locoregional anesthesia and in the ambulatory procedure. However, with the known exacerbating effects of stress and anxiety on pain, the affective experience of the patient can be negatively influenced. In order to mitigate these problems, various types of sedatives and anxiolytics and even low-dose propofol can be used. The Montpellier Regional University Hospital, along with the Music Care Company developed a software so as to standardize this technique around these recommendations. This model demonstrated its efficacy in both acute and chronic pain settings. Indeed, a single music therapy session was found to be effective for decreasing anxiety and promoting relaxation, as indicated by decreases in heart rate, blood pressure, BIS and respiratory rate over the intervention period in intubated patients during weaning phase. Also, a patient-controlled music intervention administered by Music Care has shown to alleviate negative psychological (e.g., depression) and physiological (e.g., pain and discomfort) outcomes and, very importantly, to reduce the consumption of medication in patients with chronic pain due to lumbar pain, fibromyalgia, inflammatory or neurological diseases. Given the recent availability of a standardized and proven delivery method of music therapy (i.e. MUSIC-CARE), the principal aim of this randomized clinical trial is to assess the effect of this music therapy program delivered by application compared to usual playlist music on drug consumptions and physiological parameters, pain, anxiety levels in patients undergoing forearm orthopedic surgery under locoregional anesthesia.

Study Arms (2)

MUSIC-CARE Group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

In the Music-Care group, a program of music therapy was administered through a hardware and software provided to the investigative team by the Music-Care Company. The standardized techniques include three sequences in which the relaxing, maintenance and simulating times differ. Music-Care utilizes the "U" technique designed to gradually relax the listener. In the current study, music sequences during patients' sessions were based on the mount "U", and instrumental musical works were selected for a varying numbers styles (classical, jazz, world music, etc.) and adapted to the patient's style via patient request.

Other: Music-Care

CONTROL group

SHAM COMPARATOR

In the control group, a music program from an established playlist with various instrumental music is chosen by the patient and delivered by the same tablet.

Other: control group

Interventions

music relaxation by a specific hardware and software program application (MUSIC-CARE)

Model Details: In this study, the investigators compare a specific program of music therapy to an usual music support by playlist. The specific program MUSIC-CARE is administered through a hardware and software, consisting of a modern tablet. The Music-Care app is a receptive music intervention, allowing the patient to freely adjust the length of and choose the preferred style between different sequences of instrumental music. All musical pieces were recorded in high-quality recording studios with professional musicians. Music-Care utilizes the "U" technique designed to gradually relax the listener. Initially, the objective is to represent the patient's state of tension by stimulating musical rhythm of 80-95 beats per minute (bpm). Then, it gradually falls into a relaxed state via a gradual reduction in musical tempo (40-80 bpm), orchestral size, frequencies, and volume (descending arm of the "U").
