Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this prospective pilot study is to determine if live music therapy reduces patients' perception of pain and anxiety, reduces benzodiazepine use and pain medication use, length of stay in the ICU, and length of stay in hospital, and improves sleep in post-lung transplant patients. The purpose and objectives of the study are the following: - To determine if music therapist delivered patient preferred live music and therapeutic intervention will reduce participant's perceived anxiety in post-lung transplant patients. - To determine if music therapist delivered patient preferred live music and therapeutic intervention will reduce participant's perceived pain in post-lung transplant patients. - To determine if music therapist delivered patient preferred live music and therapeutic intervention in post-lung transplant patients will reduce participant's use of benzodiazepine medication for anxiety. - To determine if music therapist delivered patient preferred live music and therapeutic intervention three times in post-lung transplant patients will reduce participant's use of pain medication. - To determine if music therapist delivered patient preferred live music and therapeutic intervention in post-lung transplant patients will reduce participant's total time of intubation, length of stay in ICU, and length of stay in the hospital. - To determine if music therapist delivered patient preferred live music and therapeutic intervention will improve the quality and length of sleep in post-lung transplant patients.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Change in Anxiety levels	Comparing the scores from the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A) scale before and after music therapy. Scores range between 0-56 where <17 indicates mild severity, 18-24 mild to moderate severity and 25-30 moderate to severe.	Changes from baseline to post-surgery day 6
Primary	Change in Pain levels (CPOT)	Comparing the scores from the Critical Care Pain Observation Tool (CPOT) scale before and after music therapy. Scores ranges between 0 (no pain) to 8 (maximum pain).	Changes from baseline to post-surgery day 6
Primary	Change in Pain levels (Pain number scale)	Comparing the scores from the Pain number scale before and after music therapy. Scores ranges between 0 (no pain) to 10 (maximum pain).	Changes from baseline to post-surgery day 6
Primary	Change in dosage of benzodiazepine medication	Comparing medication dosage between intervention group vs control group.	Changes from baseline to post-surgery day 6
Primary	Change in dosage of pain medication	Comparing medication dosage between intervention group vs control group	Changes from baseline to post-surgery day 6
Primary	Change in length of sleep	Comparing Fitbit data on length of sleep between intervention group vs control group	Changes from baseline to post-surgery day 6
Primary	Change in length of stay in ICU and in hospital	Comparing length of stay between intervention group vs control group	Changes from baseline to post-surgery day 6
Primary	Change in total time of intubation	Comparing duration of intubation between intervention group vs control group	Intubation prior to surgery until extubation (Post-surgery day 4)
