The goal of this clinical trial is to compare if playing music before and during an embryo transfer can make a difference for women who are going through a frozen embryo transfer as part of a medical procedure called assisted reproduction technology (ART).
The main questions it aims to answer are:
Before the embryo transfer, the participants will listen to music through earphones or speakers. During the embryo transfer, the participants will listen to music through speakers.
During the embryo transfer, the comparison group will not listen to music and will receive the usual care.
The aim is to see if listening to music before and during the embryo transfer can help make the procedure better for women.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Music | Experimental | All participants will listen to music throughout their time in the pre-transfer room and the designated embryo transfer room. The music will begin playing as soon as participants enter the room and will continue until their departure. Participants will curate a personalized playlist. |
|
| No music | No Intervention | No music is played (usual care) in the embryo transfer room. |
| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Music | Other | In the pre-transfer room, the personalized playlist will be played through earphones or speakers, according to the patient´s preference. In the transfer room, the personalized playlist will be played through speakers at a volume that is loud enough for the participant to hear but soft enough to ensure clear communication between the patient and doctor, without causing any disturbance to the doctor. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Participant satisfaction rate | It will be assessed with a visual analog scale (VAS) and an ad-hoc satisfaction rate survey. | Immediate after the embryo transfer |
| Participant anxiety rate | It will be assessed with State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-S), a validated tool. It will be evaluated before and after the embryo transfer (we will compare the absolute difference in the evaluation post-transfer, and also the difference between the pre and post-embryo transfer. | Immediate before after the embryo transfer |

Sealed opaque envelopes will be employed within the 7 days preceding the embryo transfer (for fresh transfers, it will be done on the day of fertilization, and, for frozen transfers, it will be done once the endometrium is prepared and it is ready to start the progesterone supplementation). Both the participants and the attending physician will be aware of the assigned allocation group. The researcher responsible for outcome assessment will remain blinded to the allocation.
