The goal of this clinical trial was to learn whether listening to classical music or binaural beats could reduce anxiety and pain in adult men undergoing prostate biopsy.
The main questions it aimed to answer were:
* Does listening to classical music reduce anxiety and pain during prostate biopsy compared with no music?
* Does listening to classical music with binaural beats reduce anxiety and pain during prostate biopsy compared with classical music alone or no music?
Researchers compared three groups of participants: one group listened to classical music, one group listened to the same music with binaural beats, and one group did not listen to music.
Participants were asked to complete anxiety questionnaires before and after the biopsy. They also rated their pain after the procedure, and blood pressure and heart rate were recorded before and after the biopsy.
