This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether music therapy combined with preoperative education can help reduce anxiety and pain during a planned cesarean delivery. Some participants will receive standard preoperative education plus personalized music played through headphones during and after surgery, while others will receive education alone. The study will measure anxiety levels, pain scores, shivering, and how quickly women recover after delivery.
Many women experience significant anxiety and pain before and during cesarean delivery. This trial is exploring whether music therapy might be a simple, safe way to help women feel calmer and more comfortable during this important procedure.

If you join this study, you'll be randomly assigned to either the education-plus-music group or the education-only group. You'll meet with a nurse one day before surgery to receive education about the procedure. If assigned to the music group, you'll wear headphones starting one hour before surgery, listening to personalized music throughout the procedure and for 30 minutes afterward. After surgery, you'll complete short surveys and answer questions about your anxiety and pain at several time points (6, 12, and 24 hours after delivery) to help researchers understand how the music affected your experience.
