Key Words Music Therapy; Fracture; Non-acute surgery; Anxiety; Meta-analysis
Core Tip This meta-analysis offers robust evidence that music therapy - an affordable, non-invasive intervention - effectively eases anxiety in patients recovering from non-acute surgical fractures. Its findings back the inclusion of music therapy in standard clinical rehabilitation protocols. This integration can enhance patients’ psychological outcomes and may reduce the need for pharmacological treatments, highlighting a practical, low-cost way to improve post-surgery care.
