Effects of Therapeutic Touch and Music on Children's Anxiety, Pain, and Nausea Before and After Circumcision
Starting soon · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Circumcision
In brief
This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effects of therapeutic touch and music therapy on anxiety, pain, and nausea in children undergoing circumcision surgery. Circumcision is a common surgical procedure, and children often experience significant anxiety, pain, and nausea both before and after the operation. The study involves children aged 7 to 12 years old who are scheduled for circumcision at Iğdır State Hospital. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: a therapeutic touch group, a music therapy group, or a control group. The goal of this research is to determine if applying non-pharmacological methods-specifically therapeutic touch or listening to music-for 15 minutes before and after the surgery can effectively reduce children's anxiety, pain levels, and nausea compared to standard care.
