description Purpose The aim of the study was to evaluate the role of music in alleviating anxiety in patients undergoing image guided procedures. Materials and Methods A total of 129 patients were included in this prospective study after obtaining clearance from the Institutional Ethics Committee. Patients were randomized into control (n = 59, median age 46, 30 males) and music (n = 70, median age 46.5, 33 males) groups. Procedures included thoracocentesis, paracentesis, fine needle aspiration cytology and biopsies of the breast, liver, thyroid and lymph nodes. It was performed over a period of 4 months, between September 2020 and December 2020. Pre- and intra procedure recordings of systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and heart rate were recorded. Circumstantial anxiety was evaluated using the Spielberg State-Trait Anxiety Inventory before and after the procedure. Results There was a statistically significant reduction (p = 0.001) in the rise of systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and heart rate in the music group as compared to the control group. There was also a statistically significant reduction (p = 0.001) in the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory scale values in the music group as compared to the control group during the procedure. Conclusion Patients undergoing image-guided procedures may be offered a choice to listen to music of their preference to reduce situational anxiety.
