Music found to improve surgery outcomes: Patients offered music during surgeries experienced reduced pain and anxiety

Urological surgeon consultant Bhaskar Somani says that offering music to patients during minor surgeries can significantly reduce pain and anxiety.

These patients had had various outpatient procedures.
