This review assessed the effectiveness of listening to music as an intervention to reduce pre-procedural state anxiety in adult hospital patients. Overall, the authors stated that psychological outcomes show reduced anxiety as a result of music listening interventions. The conclusion of this relatively robust review is reasonable, but the choice of synthesis method might have overstated the benefits.
