Music Therapy in Procedural Sedation in the Emergency Department
NCT02676206 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The investigators propose to determine whether listening to classical music during a sedation procedure decreases the need for procedural sedation medication. It is a two arm study comparing music vs no music by headphones so that the investigator is blinded to the intervention. The outcome variable is amount of sedative used and self-reported anxiety level as reported on a 10 point visual analogue scale (VAS). The music intervention is begun 1 minute prior to the sedation procedure and continued until the subject is completely awake. Demographics will be collected for all patients. No identifiers are collected. Data will be compared for a change in VAS variable using non parametric methods.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT02676206
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT02676206 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 60 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of New Mexi, which has 107 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Conscious Sedation Failure During Procedure appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which Classical music is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT02676206 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include New Mexico. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
