Brief summary

The study, Effect of Listening to Standardized Music Sequences on Preventing Postoperative Pain in Proctologic Surgery, aims to evaluate the impact of preoperative listening to standardized music sequences on postoperative pain in patients undergoing proctologic surgery (for hemorrhoids, fistulas, or anal fissures). This research will assess the influence of preoperative music on postoperative pain management, the use of analgesics after surgery and during the following month, and its effect on the quality of life post-surgery. MUSICO-PROCTO is an interventional, randomized study involving two groups (patients will be randomly assigned to either the music intervention or control group). The study is monocentric, conducted at Clinique Saint Vincent in France, and includes 550 participants. Participants will be followed for 28 days, while the overall study duration will span 28 months. To participate, individuals must: Be aged 18 or older. Be affiliated with a social security system. Provide signed informed consent. Undergo proctologic surgery for hemorrhoids, fistulas, or anal fissures. This study seeks to explore the potential of music as a complementary method to improve postoperative outcomes.

Interventions

OTHERStandardized Music Listening Therapy

Type of Intervention: Pre- and postoperative listening to standardized music sequences designed specifically for relaxation and pain management. Delivery Method: Sessions are conducted via the Music Care® application, using a tablet and headphones provided during hospitalization. Participants select their preferred music style, tempo, and tracks to tailor the experience to their preferences. Duration and Schedule: Pre-surgery: One 20-minute session in a dedicated room before entering the operating theater. Post-surgery: Daily 20-minute sessions at home for 28 days post-surgery using participants' own devices (smartphone, tablet, or computer). Purpose: To evaluate the effect of music on reducing postoperative pain, minimizing analgesic use, and improving the quality of life. Distinctiveness: This intervention uniquely integrates patient-controlled music preferences with a structured listening regimen before and after surgery, offering a personalized approach to enhancing recovery outcom

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Pain Intensity (EVA Pain) in the recovery room (SSPI).Immediately post-surgery in the recovery room.First postoperative pain measurement using the EVA (Visual Analog Scale), scored from 0 to 10, in the recovery room (SSPI).

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
State Anxiety Score (STAI-Y-ETAT)From hospitalization to Day 28 post-surgery.Evaluation of state anxiety using the STAI-Y-ETAT scale at the following time points: Admission to hospitalization. 30 minutes after premedication. At hospital discharge. Day 28 (follow-up visit)
Kess ScoreFrom hospitalization to Day 28 post-surgeryMeasurement of bowel function using the Kess score at the following time points: Admission to hospitalization. 30 minutes after premedication. Day 10 (±3 days). Day 28 (follow-up visit).
Total Time in SSPI and Hospitalization DurationDuring the hospital stay.Measurement of the total time spent in the recovery room (SSPI) and overall hospitalization duration.
Total Analgesic Consumption During Hospital StayMeasured from hospital admission to hospital discharge, within an estimated time frame of 6 to 24 hours (due to the outpatient nature of the procedure).The total amount of analgesic medication consumed during the entire hospital stay.
Successive Pain and Anxiety Scores (EVA Pain and EVA Anxiety)From hospitalization to Day 28 post-surgery.Successive measurements of pain and anxiety using the EVA scales, scored from 0 to 10, at the following time points: Admission to hospitalization. 30 minutes after premedication. In the recovery room (SSPI). At hospital discharge. Day 10 (±3 days). Day 28 (follow-up visit).
Quality of Life Scores (HEMO-FISS-QoL and EQ5D-5L)From hospitalization to Day 28 post-surgery.Assessment of quality of life using the HEMO-FISS-QoL and EQ5D-5L scales at the following time points:Admission to hospitalization. Day 28 (follow-up visit).
Patient SatisfactionImmediately post-surgery, upon discharge from SSPI.Measurement of patient satisfaction using a Likert scale upon discharge from the recovery room (SSPI).
Medico-Economic ImpactDuring the hospital stay.Assessment of the economic impact of the intervention by recording: Operative times. Recovery room durations. Total hospitalization duration (in minutes).
Time to HealingFrom surgery to Day 28 post-surgery.Measurement of wound healing time by assessing wound surface area using the Imito Measure application, in the genu-pectoral position.
