This study is looking at whether listening to music during a nail biopsy can reduce pain and anxiety. Patients scheduled for a nail biopsy at the Weill Cornell Medicine dermatology clinic will be randomly assigned to either listen to a calming instrumental/classical music playlist during their procedure or receive standard care without music. After the procedure, participants will complete short questionnaires rating their pain, anxiety, and overall satisfaction. The goal is to determine whether a simple, low-cost music intervention can improve the experience of patients undergoing nail biopsies.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Music intervention | Behavioral | A standardized playlist of instrumental, classical, and relaxing music delivered to participants beginning 2-3 minutes before local anesthesia administration and continuing throughout the nail biopsy procedure. The music is intended to reduce procedural pain and anxiety as an adjunct to standard care. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Mean pain intensity measured by Visual Analog Scale | Total scores range from 0-10 with 10 meaning worst pain imaginable | Immediately after the nail biopsy procedure |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Mean anxiety score measured by short-form State-Trait Anxiety Inventory | Total scores range from 20 - 80 with scores higher than 34 - 36 indicating anxiety | Immediately after the nail biopsy procedure |
| Perceived helpfulness of music intervention (music group only) measured by single-item Likert scale |
