5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This is a clinical study that aims to determine the effective dose of music listening duration that is required to reduce anxiety in patients awaiting scheduled cesarean section. It will also compare types of music to accomplish this goal, both of which have been shown effective in prior studies. Methods will involve enrolling and playing music for patients awaiting scheduled C-section, and scoring their anxiety with pre- and post-music questionnaires. Music duration for each subject will be predetermined, and analysis of response will be performed to determine the effective dose 95%, or dose at which 95% of subjects should have a positive response.
