Aim: This research was conducted to determine the effect of music played during computerized tomography (CT) imaging in children on fear, anxiety and vital signs.
Method: This randomized, double-blind controlled trial was conducted with Consolidated Standards of Reporting Studies (CONSORT) guidelines. The sample includes children aged 5-10 years who had CT scans in the emergency department of a public hospital in eastern Turkey between April 18 and May 20, 2023 and met the inclusion criteria for the study.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| control group | No Intervention | Questionnaires and scales were filled out by the researcher five minutes before the CT scan. Routine CT scans were performed on the control group without listening to music by wearing a Bluetooth headset. The scales were repeated five minutes after the CT scan. | |
| music group | Experimental | Questionnaires and scales were filled out by the researcher five minutes before the CT scan. Just before the CT scan began, the children in the music group were started to listen to "Lullaby K 350" music by inserting a Bluetooth headset into their ears. If the process took longer, the music was played again. Additionally, the Bluetooth headset was properly disinfected before each use to prevent the spread of infectious diseases among patients. |
