To evaluate whether music listening decreased pain perception during second trimester genetic amniocentesis. We conducted a prospective randomized study to compare the pain perception using a visual analogue scale (VAS), pain rating, future decision to repeat the procedure, and pain perception compared to a venipuncture before and after the second trimester genetic amniocentesis between groups of pregnant women who underwent amniocentesis with and without music listening. Three hundred thirty two pregnant women were enrolled; 161 listened and 171 did not listen to the music. The pre-procedure anxiety, the anticipated pain, post-procedure pain/ anxiety median VAS scores, pain rating, future decision and level of pain compare to a venipuncture in the music-listening and non-music-listening groups did not show statistically significant difference. The pre-procedure anxiety median VAS scores were 1.3 and 0.5 in the music-listening and non-musiclistening groups, respectively and the anticipated pain median VAS scores were 4.8 and 4.5 in the music-listening and non-music-listening groups, respectively. The post-procedure median VAS pain/anxiety scores were 2.7 and 2.5 in the music-listening and non-music-listening groups, respectively. Music listening was not significantly effective in reducing pain during second trimester genetic amniocentesis.
