This randomized clinical trial studies how well listening to nature sounds work in reducing pain and anxiety in patients undergoing core needle biopsy (core biopsy). Listening to nature sounds may help reduce anxiety, pain, and fatigue during core needle biopsy procedures and enhance the overall experience for patients and staff.
Study sponsor and potential other locations can be found on ClinicalTrials.gov for NCT03238976.
