evidence regarding the use of music in periopera-tive nursing practice and its effect on postopera-tive pain and opioid use during perioperative recovery. Recommendations for the use of music as an intervention to reduce postsurgical pain and opioid use are deduced and summarized from the review of the evidence. Literature Review
