Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary outcome of the study is change in pulse rate (beats per minute) measured using a pulse oximeter. To compare pulse rate during root canal treatment between patients exposed to relaxing instrumental music with nature-based ambient sounds and those receiving standard root canal treatment without music.Timepoint: T0 (Baseline): Pulse rate recorded prior to administration of local anesthesia and initiation of the root canal procedure. T1 (Intra-operative): Pulse rate recorded 5 minutes after initiation of canal instrumentation during the root canal procedure. T2 (Post-operative): Pulse rate recorded immediately after completion of the root canal treatment procedure. These measurements will be used to compare changes in pulse rate between the music group and the control group. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To assess baseline dental anxiety levels of participants using the Modified Dental Anxiety Scale (MDAS) prior to the procedure.Timepoint: T0 (Baseline): Dental anxiety assessed using the Modified Dental Anxiety Scale (MDAS) prior to administration of local anesthesia & initiation of the root canal procedure.;To compare oxygen saturation (SpO2) levels between the music group & the control group during root canal treatment.Timepoint: T0 (Baseline): Prior to initiation of the root canal procedure & before administration of local anesthesia. T1 (Intra-operative): Five minutes after initiation of canal instrumentation during the root canal procedure. T2 (Post-operative): Immediately after completion of the root canal treatment procedure.;To evaluate the overall treatment experience & perceived comfort of patients using a five-point Likert scale following completion of the root canal treatment.Timepoint: T2 (Post-operative): Patient postoperative experience assessed immediately after completion of the endodontic treatment using a 5-point Likert scale questionnaire. | — |
