The Use of Music as Pain Therapy in Patients Undergoing Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy in a Day Care Unit

The study is undertaken to investigate whether relaxing music therapy before, during and after laparoscopic cholecystectomy has any effect on pain, PONV or fatigue and level of stress as measured by Cortisol and C reactive protein.

Patients will be scored according to those endpoints 1 and 3 hours after surgery and on day 1 and 7 post-OP.
