Brief summary
Purpose: Perioperative anxiety is a common cause of physchiological stress for patients undergoing surgery under regional anesthesia. In recent years, using complementary and alternative therapies such as acupuncture, aromatherapy, music therapy, hypnotism have become more attractive. Aromatherapy and music therapy are simple, cheap, non-invasive, safe and low-cost methods of reducing operative anxiety. This research was aimed to evaluate the effects of music intervention in the style of nature sounds and a lavender-scented eye pillow placed on the eyelids of patients undergoing the similar type of operation under regional anesthesia on patient anxiety and patient satisfaction. Methods: In this prospective, randomized study 120 patients were divided randomly into 4 groups. the music group (MG), the lavender group (LG), both the music and lavender group (ML), the control group. Primary outcome is self rated anxiety level assessed by State-Trait Anxiety Inventory(STAI) test and patient satisfaction assessed by The Quality of Recovery Score (QoR-40). Secondary outcomes are pain measured by Visual analog scale (VAS), vital parameters such as heart rate, blood pressure and respiratory rate and oxygen saturation, Ethical Considerations: The study was carried out in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki, after obtaining the Institutional Review Board of the Ege University Faculty of Medicine.
Interventions
Subjects of the intervention arms receive a recorded music or a lavender eye pillow or both of them.
The interventions will be started to apply in the operating room after the patient lies on the operating table. The interventions will be removed at the end of the surgery before patient is taken to the postoperative care unit. The approximate duration of the the intervention is approximately 1 hour. Anesthesiologist records will be used to monitor.

Anesthesiologist records will be used to monitor. The music (soothing playlist) was selected and recorded by a master of musician from our university and music will be heard through an on-ear headphone connected to a digital music player. The purple Lavender Aromatherapy Eye Pillow filled with lavender flowers will be placed over both eyes of the patients till the end of the surgery by the anesthesiologist. In the third intervention group both the patient will listen to music through the ear headphones and a lavender eye pillow will be placed over both the eyes during the procedure. All the interventions will be provided by the anesthesiologist and pain specialists.
