Effect of ASMR and White Noise on Sleep Quality in Patients Undergoing Elective Lower Extremity Surgery

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

ASMR Audio Intervention: Standardized ASMR audio recordings administered for 30 minutes before sleep during the postoperative period.

White Noise Audio Intervention: Standardized white noise audio recordings administered for 30 minutes before sleep during the postoperative period.

Study summary

This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effects of Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR) and white noise on postoperative sleep quality in patients undergoing elective lower extremity surgery. Postoperative sleep disturbances are common after orthopedic surgery and may negatively affect pain perception, recovery, and overall patient outcomes. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: ASMR intervention, white noise intervention, or control group. Patients in the intervention groups will listen to standardized 30-minute audio recordings before sleep during the postoperative period, while the control group will receive routine care with headphones only. Sleep quality will be assessed using the Richards-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire (RCSQ). The study aims to determine which non-pharmacological intervention is more effective in improving postoperative sleep quality.

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• Postoperative Sleep Quality — Postoperative nights 1 and 2
  Postoperative sleep quality will be assessed using the Richards-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire (RCSQ). The RCSQ is a validated five-item visual analog scale evaluating sleep depth, sleep latency, number of awakenings, sleep efficiency, and overall sleep quality. Each item is scored between 0 and 100, and higher scores indicate better sleep quality. Total scores are calculated by averaging the item scores. Sleep quality will be evaluated during postoperative nights 1 and 2.
