This is a Study to Evaluate if Music Therapy Can Reduce Stress and Increase Satisfaction of Patients Undergoing Ambulatory Surgery

Patients who undergo outpatient surgery according to normal practice will be divided into two groups.

The first group (17 patients), before and after their surgery, will listen to relaxing music, namely a slower tempo music that can quiet mind and make patients feel soothed.

The second group (17 patients) will follow the standard surgical pathways according to normal clinical practice, in particular they will not listen to relaxing music.

A questionnaire to evaluate stress and satisfaction will be administered to all the patients before their discharge
