Abstract in brief

  • This study investigated whether binaural beat audio can help reduce preoperative anxiety in patients undergoing day surgery under general anesthesia.
  • The results showed that patients listening to binaural beats experienced a significant decrease in anxiety levels compared to those listening to similar music without binaural beats or receiving no intervention.
  • Overall, binaural beat audio appears to be a promising non-pharmacological method for lowering preoperative anxiety in surgical patients.]

The findings of a 2018 study Trusted Source suggest that listening to binaural beats for a recommended period can affect a person’s subsequent behavior and sleep cycles. https://t.co/Gij3fiuX9X

Binaural beats do work for a variety of things. they're worth checking out. As one example: binaural beats reduced anxiety by between 19% to 33% in people before their surgery... compared to 6-16% in the placebo audio group https://t.co/B1MZHyKfTg

Dont think music can help with anxiety? In a study of 100 people about to undergo surgery, some were given binaural beats and others similar audio with no binaural beats. Anxiety levels were cut in HALF to those who listened to the binaural beats. https://t.co/I2u8xc3tg7

@dvd_mcf But there is some evidence (by EEG) that the beats are produced as it were ‘in the brain’ and have predictable effects as a result: e.g. https://t.co/u0Jl3t7ZP1

https://t.co/WAZLp4Pkym They have some effect on brain waves. This study uses Theta waves to lessen anxiety, and it is ~26% effective.

Those snickering loudest have definitely never tried it. Take home point: healthcare burnout is an epidemic that harms patients, and @BoulderCHealth supports it's staff more than any other institution I know. Here's the science behind sound baths: https://t.co/KMer0aJdlM
