To evaluate the effectiveness of music in relieving pain during arterial sheath removal via the femoral route after endovascular procedures. Method: this is a randomized controlled, single-blind clinical trial to be carried out according to the guidelines of the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT). It will be developed in the hemodynamics of the University Hospital Onofre Lopes, with a probabilistic, random and simple sample of 68 participants divided equally into the following groups: Control Group (CG) and Experimental Group (EG). Their randomization will be guaranteed by using the “Research Randomizer” website. The control group will consist of patients who had the need to undergo cardiac catheterization or lower limb arteriography, will receive the industry standard care and application of headphones without transmission of any music for the removal of the arterial introducer via the femoral route at the appropriate time. The experimental group, on the other hand, will receive the intervention through headphones with the patient's musical preference, in order to verify its effectiveness in relieving pain during removal of the arterial introducer via the femoral artery. A form will be used to collect the patient's sociodemographic data and musical preference, another form to collect clinical data such as the presence of comorbidities and the patient's vital signs before, during and after the intervention. A scale will also be applied to assess pain intensity, namely: Visual Analogue Scale. This study was submitted to the Teaching and Research Management of the Onofre Lopes University Hospital and received a favorable opinion. Subsequently, it was sent for evaluation by the Research Ethics Committee (CEP) of UFRN. This study can contribute to greater humanization of care, offering greater comfort during the performance of a painful procedure, with the possibility of improving the individual experience, assisting in the patient's recovery process and promoting user satisfaction with the service and assistance provided.
