The effect of music on response to ketamine: A scoping review protocol

Abstract

Few studies have investigated the co-administration of music and ketamine, which could lead to different therapeutic outcomes than administration of ketamine alone. This scoping review will describe the existing literature on the joint use of ketamine and music in humans and seeks to determine how ketamine and music may interact. Five databases (PubMed, Embase, PsycNet, Scopus, Web of Science: Core) and Google Scholar will be searched; articles of interest will be limited to the English language but not to any publication year. Two reviewers will independently screen each record using Covidence, a screening and data extraction tool, and resolve disagreements via consensus. All studies in English that address the effects of co-administration of ketamine (any dose or administration route) and music in healthy volunteers or patients (any age group for any treatment) will be included. Articles about recreational use of ketamine will be excluded. Two reviewers will extract the identified data items using Covidence. This scoping review will be the first on the topic of music and ketamine and will help researchers who wish to design future studies investigating ketamine and music.
