Heart Rate Variability and Music Listening

RecruitingNA

Sponsor: KK Women's and Children's Hospital

Conditions: Heart Rate Variability, Anxiety, Depression

Interventions: Electrocardiogram (ECG) monitor, Music listening

Countries: Singapore

High anxiety levels may lead to negative outcomes, and previous studies have shown that music listening could reduce periprocedural anxiety and depression. Recent evidence suggests that a lower heart rate variability (HRV) may be associated with anxiety and depression disorders, but the association of these HRV parameters with preoperative mood in the procedural settings are less defined. In this prospective cohort pilot study, the study team will investigate the association between HRV and psychological vulnerability (anxiety, depression) in the presence of music listening before procedures. A total of 120 patients about to undergo procedures (surgery, procedures) will be recruited in three healthcare institutions in Singapore (KK Women's and Children's Hospital, Singapore General Hospital, Changi General Hospital). Patients will be asked to have their ECG readings recorded before, during, and after music listening. Preprocedural information (e.g., demographic, clinical) and psychological scores will be collected.
