Plain English summary of protocol

Background and study aims
Kidney stones are solid crystals of waste products from the blood that can build up in the kidneys. A treatment for kidney stones is extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (SWL), which is where shock waves from outside the body are used to break apart the kidney stones so that eventually, they are small enough to pass through the urine. SWL can cause pain and anxiety for patients. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of listening to different music types during SWL on the patient's pain control, anxiety level, and satisfaction.

Who can participate?
Adults who have a radiopaque kidney stone 10-20 mm in diameter localized in the renal pelvis or ureteropelvic junction

What does the study involve?
All patients will receive SWL, but will be randomised into five different groups:
1. Group 1 wears no headphones and listens to no music during SWL
2. Group 2 wears headphones but listens to no music during SWL
3. Group 3 listens to Turkish art music with headphones during SWL
4. Group 4 listens to Western classical music with headphones during SWL
5. Group 5 listens to music of their choice during SWL
Patients will then be asked to provide pain and anxiety scores after treatment.

What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
The possible benefit of participating is reduced levels of pain and anxiety associated with SWL treatment. There only risks to participants are the standard risks associated with SWL treatment.

Where is the study run from?
Department of Urology, Faculty of Medicine, Adıyaman University, Adıyaman, Turkey.

When is the study starting and how long is it expected to run for?
May 2015 to January 2018

1. Dr Ali Çift (Turkey)
2. Dr Alper Gök (Turkey)

Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedKidney stones
InterventionShock Wave Lithotripsy. Participants were randomly divided into the study groups.
Brief summary of methodology: The patients were divided into five groups by randomizing prospectively. A total of 150 patients (30 participants in each group) who underwent first-session SWL were included in the study. Demographic data related to patients and procedure, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-State Anxiety (STAI-SA), Visual Analog Scale (VAS) scores, willingness to repeat procedure (0: never 4: happily), and patient satisfaction rates (0: poor 4: excellent) were recorded immediately after the procedure.

Participants were randomly divided into five study groups:
1. Group 1 wore no headphones and no music was played during extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL)
2. Group 2 wore headphones but no music was played during ESWL
3. Group 3 listened to Turkish art music with headphones during ESWL
4. Group 4 listened to Western classical music with headphones during ESWL
5. Group 5 listened to music of the participant's choice with headphones during ESWL
Intervention typeMixed
Primary outcome measure(s)

The following were assessed immediately after the extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy procedure:
1. Anxiety, assessed using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-State Anxiety form (STAI-SA)
2. Pain, assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS)

Key secondary outcome measure(s)

The following were assessed immediately after the extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy procedure:
1. Willingness to repeat procedure, assessed on a scale of 0-4 where 0 indicates "never", 1 indicates "very little", 2 indicates "little", 3 indicates "much" and 4 indicates "happily"
2. Patient satisfaction, assessed on a scale of 0-4 where 0 indicates "poor", 1 indicates "very little", 2 indicates "little", 3 indicates "much" and 4 indicates "excellent"
