Self-selected music is described as particularly effective for anxiety management. Music is provided for 30 minutes before ECT and 12 minutes during post-ECT recovery. Participants in the music group choose music from Spotify playlists curated with input from a certified music therapist. Participants may choose their own Spotify playlist and switch playlists during a session. The intervention caps volume at 80 dB to prevent hearing damage. Music is stopped immediately if a patient becomes visibly agitated.
