Investigating the effect of Quran recitation during orthognathic surgery under general anesthesia on the amount of pain reported by the patient during recovery after surgery

Porpose:

 The present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the effect of listening to the Quran on postoperative pain in orthognathic surgery candidates.

This clinical trial study was conducted on patients with ASA I classification who underwent orthognathic surgery. After general anesthesia, the anesthesiologist selected one of the Quran audio files (Q group) or white noise (W group) for the patient with the help of a random number table. After the patient entered recovery, vital signs were measured and the pain level of the patient was measured by visual analog pain index.

In this study, 40 patients were randomly divided into two groups: Quran (Q) and white noise (W). The average pain in group W was higher, and the two groups had statistically significant differences.

Listening to the sound of the Quran during unconsciousness can reduce pain reported in patients treated with orthognathic surgery after surgery.
