    AbstractPharmacological methods to improve postoperative pain are well documented, but an increasing interest in nonpharmacological methods has stimulated research in this field. Traditional and pharmacological interventions to relieve perioperative anxiety and pain are being challenged by an increasing demand for more holistic approaches. This study tested the hypothesis that listening to music preoperatively and postoperatively would affect patients' experience of pain, nausea, and well-being and have an impact on their vital signs. The authors conclude that a period of peaceful rest before and after surgery reduces patient anxiety.
