Taiwan196 participantsStarted 2019-01-02
Plain-language summary
Music intervention is a non-pharmacological and effective intervention that can alleviate anxiety and agitation in patients undergoing weaning. The effectiveness of music intervention in reducing anxiety of patients in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is still unknown. The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of music intervention on anxiety, agitation, sleep quality and physiological parameters on patients in ICU. This study was conducted from January to June 2019. A total of 196 hospitalized ICU patients were divided into two groups. Subjects in experimental group received 30 minutes music intervention for 3 days on bedside whereas subjects in control group received routine care only. The primary outcome was anxiety. Agitation Sedation Scale, sleep quality and physical parameters were selected to collect as secondary outcomes.There was no significant difference between the groups at baseline. The results of this study support that music can reduce anxiety and agitation levels in ICU's patient. Nurses can incorporate this intervention into the daily care in order to reduce the discomfort of patients.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
