Study about effect of music on amount of analgesics medication use is very limited. In present study, we examined effect of listening to preferred music on amount of analgesic and sedative medication use in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. This randomized clinical trial conducted in Shariati hospital in Tehran, Iran. Fifty patients who were under cardiac surgery were randomly assigned to group "A" (control group) or group "B" (intervention group). Patients in group “A” received usual care after surgery. In addition to usual care, patients in group “B” listened their preferred music. Amount of analgesic and sedative medication used by patients recorded in special forms. Our results showed that patients in group “B” had received less dose of analgesic and sedative compared to the patients in group “A”; mean doses of analgesic and sedative were 1.6±0.74 mg in and 1.4±0.86 mg in patient in group “A” before and after intervention respectively. Mean dose of analgesic and sedative in group “B” was 1.4±0.9 mg and 0.5±0.6 mg before and after intervention respectively. With listening to music, patients needs to analgesic and sedative medication decreased. Music should be considered by clinicians as a non pharmacological, non invasive, simple, cheap, safe, and effective method for pain management after CABG surgery.
