This study was designed to investigate the effects of music medicine on anxiety, pain, and vital signs in women undergoing embryo transfer. The study followed a randomized controlled design and was conducted at the IVF unit of a university hospital. The sample consisted of women who met the specified inclusion criteria, and participants were assigned to the intervention and control groups using randomization.

Data collection tools included a socio-demographic characteristics form, a vital signs recording form (blood pressure, pulse, respiratory rate, and oxygen saturation), the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-I and II), and the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). The intervention group listened to patient-selected music during the embryo transfer process, while the control group received standard care. Measurements were taken before, during, and after the embryo transfer.

The obtained data were analyzed using appropriate statistical methods to evaluate the effects of music on anxiety, pain levels, and vital signs. This study aims to improve women's embryo transfer experiences by contributing to nursing care and reproductive health practices.

The study evaluates the effect of music medicine on anxiety and pain levels during embryo transfer. Participants in the intervention group listen to patient-selected music via noise-canceling headphones. The process includes baseline assessments of vital signs and anxiety, followed by post-intervention measurements 15 minutes after the procedure.

Inclusion Criteria:

Women undergoing embryo transfer.

Ages 18 to 45 years (or your specific age range).

Literacy in Turkish to complete the inventories.

Voluntarily agreeing to participate in the study.

Exclusion Criteria:

Patients with hearing impairment.

Patients with cognitive or psychiatric disorders that prevent completion of the inventory.

Patients who have taken analgesic or anxiolytic medication within the last 24 hours.

Individual participant data (IPD) will not be shared to protect participant privacy and because the data are currently being used as part of a doctoral dissertation. Results will be disseminated through publication in peer-reviewed journals.

Randomization was performed using the sealed envelope method to ensure allocation concealment; therefore, the investigator did not know the group assignments until the point of intervention. Due to the nature of the music medicine intervention, the participants and the investigator collecting the data could not be masked during the procedure. However, to minimize bias, the statistical analysis will be conducted by a researcher blinded to the group allocations.
