Study on How Listening to Classical Turkish Music Affects Anxiety and Radial Artery Spasm During Coronary Angiography

What this Trial Is About

Cardiovascular diseases are a major health concern worldwide, leading to high rates of death and illness. In Turkey, circulatory and ischemic heart diseases are responsible for a large percentage of deaths, with coronary artery disease CAD being the most common. Coronary angiography is considered the best invasive method to diagnose CAD, but the procedure can cause anxiety and fear due to its invasive nature and unfamiliar environment. Anxiety may also contribute to radial artery spasms during the procedure, which is a concern because the radial artery is prone to spasms due to its structure. This study is a randomized controlled trial conducted in a hospitals Coronary Angiography Unit to evaluate the effect of music on anxiety and radial artery spasms during transradial coronary angiography. Ninety patients will be randomly assigned to either an intervention group, which will listen to Classical Turkish Music via headphones during the procedure, or a control group receiving standard care without music. Both groups will undergo the same coronary angiography procedure performed by the same physician using the same equipment. Participants will complete anxiety assessments before and after the procedure using the State Anxiety Inventory. Radial artery spasms will be monitored and recorded based on specific symptoms during the angiography. Patients will be observed for bleeding and recovery times post-procedure, with discharge timing depending on whether additional interventions are performed. Data collection will continue from October 2024 to April 2025, and safety will be monitored throughout the study.
