NEW DELHI: Could gentle instrumental music played in a patient's ears during surgery help them? A new study certainly finds so.

- Ridhima Gupta

A peer-reviewed research by Lok Nayak Hospital and Maulana Azad Medical College in New Delhi, conducted on patients undergoing laparoscopic gallbladder removal, has found that playing music during surgery can significantly aid the recovery of patients and can also, modestly but meaningfully, reduce drug requirements.

Published in the journal Music and Medicine in November, the study was conducted between March 2023 and January 2024 with 56 adults, aged between 18 to 64.
