The Effect of Ney Music on Patients Undergoing Lumbar Disc Surgery
Turkey (Türkiye)60 participantsStarted 2025-04-01
Plain-language summary
This randomized controlled study aims to investigate the effects of ney music listening, a traditional Turkish wind instrument, on pain, anxiety, sleep quality, and vital signs in patients undergoing lumbar disc herniation surgery. Participants will be randomly assigned to intervention and control groups. The intervention group will receive a 15-minute ney music session at three different time points: preoperative (on the day of surgery), postoperative 3rd hour, and postoperative day 1. The control group will receive standard postoperative nursing care without music intervention. Data will be collected at the same time points in both groups using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-I), Richard-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire, and vital signs. The study seeks to evaluate the non-pharmacological benefits of therapeutic music in postoperative recovery.

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.
1This trial uses Ney music — a traditional reed flute instrument — to help manage pain and anxiety around lumbar disc surgery, so could you explain how that would fit into my overall care plan alongside any pain medications or other treatments I'd already be receiving?
2Since this study is measuring things like blood pressure, pulse, and oxygen saturation alongside pain and sleep, what does that tell us about what researchers still don't know about how music-based approaches affect the body during surgical recovery?
3The trial is listed as 'Phase NA,' which typically means it's not testing a drug but rather a non-drug intervention — does that mean the safety risks of participating are lower, and what exactly would I be asked to do differently from standard post-operative care?
4Given that my main concern right now is recovering well from lumbar disc surgery, would my doctor think that standard pain and anxiety management alone is likely sufficient, or is there a reason it might be worth discussing whether a study like this could be a good fit for my situation?
5If I were to discuss this trial with my care team, what would they want to know about my current anxiety levels or sleep problems to help decide whether something like music therapy research is worth exploring for me?

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?
