Effects of Music on Acute Postoperative Pain Intensity and Mobility After Fragility Hip Fracture

Brief Summary

Music has been proven to be beneficial in postoperative care by reducing pain. The effects of music listening to reduce pain postoperatively are well studied among cases undergoing elective orthopaedic surgery. No study has been conducted focusing on pain control among cases with fragility hip fractures in an acute ward setting with non-schedule non-elective orthopaedic operation. In Queen Elizabeth Hospital a standardized analgesic protocol is used for all fragility hip fracture cases unless contraindicated, a suboptimal post-operative pain control is not uncommonly seen. Stepping up analgesics is usually a concern in the elderly with a higher rate of side effects, a safe and simple non-pharmacological intervention for pain control is therefore needed. The aim of this study is to study the effectiveness of incorporating music on pain intensity and mobility with the standard postoperative rehabilitation care of fragility hip fracture in Queen Elizabeth Hospital.
