Turkey (Türkiye)62 participantsStarted 2023-03-15

Plain-language summary

This study aims to evaluate the effect of music played for women who undergo cesarean delivery on their early-stage pain, comfort, and mother-infant bonding levels. The study was conducted with 62 women who had cesarean deliveries and were hospitalized in the Obstetrics Unit of Bilecik Training and Research Hospital. Participants were randomly assigned to either an experimental group or a control group. Music in the Acemaşiran mode was played for 20 minutes twice, at the 8th and 16th postpartum hours for the experimental group, while the control group received routine midwifery/nursing care practices provided in the clinic after cesarean delivery. The study is designed to assess whether listening to music after cesarean delivery influences postoperative pain, comfort, and mother-infant bonding levels.

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?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
