U.S., Aug. 1 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07738848) titled 'Impact of Preferred Music on Laparoscopic Task Performance and Mental Workload in Novice Surgeons' on July 23.
Brief Summary: This single-blinded, three-arm randomized controlled trial evaluated the effects of different auditory environments on laparoscopic task performance and mental workload among novice surgeons in a simulated setting. Sixty participants were randomly assigned to one of three groups: preferred music, white noise, or silent control. Participants completed standardized laparoscopic simulation tasks. The primary outcome was task completion time. Secondary outcomes included mental workload assessed using the Surgical ...
