Abstract
Background: Sound therapy can successfully relieve a variety of painful

clinical personnel. Through pitch and rhythm, it activates the limbic system, which in
turn triggers the pituitary gland to release endorphins, which results in a feeling of
wellbeing Aim of study to evaluate the impact of sound therapy on pain and
agitation during endotracheal suctioning in critically ill patients Research design: A
Quasi-experimental study design was used. Setting: the study was conducted in
General intensive care unit at Sohag main University Hospital. Subjects: Convenient

Clinical outcomes assessment sheet. Results: revealed that Patient in the
intervention group had significant relief of pain 5 min, and 15 min after intervention
in comparison with control group patients, as indicated with P=0.04*&0.001**.
According to the results, the study group's agitation levels were significantly lower
than those of the control group five, three, and five minutes after the intervention (pvalues
of 0.005**, 0.005**, and 0.04*, respectively). Conclusion: Sound therapy
