Background: Poincare plot analysis of heart rate variability (HRV) is a complex nonlinear method for assessing cardiac autonomic nerve function (CANF) in generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). Objective: This study aimed to observe the effect of music therapy on HRV by poincaré plot analysis in GAD patients. Methods: This prospective Interventional study was done in 2019 on 60 newly diagnosed GAD patients aged 20- 40 years, both male and female. Among them, 30 patients were under music therapy with Raga Bhairabi based Rabindra Sangeet for 3 months and 30 patients were without music therapy and both patient groups were studied over three months. Healthy controls, who were enrolled in this study, were Age, sex and BMI matched. Poincaré plot (non linear measure) of HRV of all GAD patients and control were recorded at baseline and after three months of follow up. HRV were recorded by Power Lab 8/ 35. For statistical analysis Bonferroni’s Post Hoc test and paired sample ‘t’ test were done. Results:Standard deviation of the points perpendicular to the axis of line of identity(SD1), standard deviation of the points along the axis of line of identity (SD2) SD and SD1/SD2 were significantly lower in all GAD patients compared to healthy control at baseline. After 3 months of music therapy, significant increment of these parameters occurred in GAD patients, whereas no changes of these except SD1 were noted in patients without music therapy after 3 months. Moreover, these parameters were not significantly different in patients under music therapy compared to control at the end of three months. Conclusion: This study concluded that music therapy can improve cardiac autonomic dysfunction in GAD patients. J Bangladesh Soc Physiol. 2020, June; 15(1): 39-45

“…These results agree to others in both healthy subjects and depressed patients [26][27][28] . In 2014, Latha et al found similar findings in case of stress 29 . Moreover, pulse and BP in music group of patient were close to healthy subjects which in turn strongly support the good effect of music on autonomic regulation.…”

Background :Non linear measure of heart rate variability (HRV) is an emerging method to detect changes in cardiac autonomic nerve function in major depressive disorder (MDD). Objective: To observe the effect of music therapy on non linear measures of HRV in newly diagnosed MDD patients. Methods: This prospective interventional study was done in the Department of Physiology, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Shahbag, Dhaka in 2018 on 60 newly diagnosed MDD patients aged 20-40 years, both male and female. They were further subdivided into 30 patients with only antidepressant medication (Mirtazapine) and 30 patients received music therapy with Raga kafi (Rabindrasangeet) along with the same medication for 3 months. Age, sex and BMI matched healthy control were also enrolled. HRV non linear parameters were recorded by Power Lab 8/35. For statistical analysis paired sample ‘t’ test and independent sample ‘t’ test were done. Result: SD1, SD2 and SD1/SD2 were found significantly lower in MDD patients compared to healthy control at baseline. After 3 months of music therapy, significant increment of these parameters occurred with trend of improvement in cardiac autonomic nerve function (CANF) in these patients. Conclusion: This study concluded that music therapy can improve CANF by increasing parasympathetic and reducing sympathetic activity in MDD patients.

“…Self-regulatory music listening improves psychological functioning through encouraging flexibility in coping with experiences and reducing emotional reactivity (Garrido & Schubert, 2013; Saarikallio & Erkkilä, 2007; van Goethem & Sloboda, 2011). Self-regulatory music listening also reduced individuals’ perceived stress (Latha et al, 2014). Overall, this finding lends further empirical support to the feasibility of mindful awareness of music as a way of encouraging requisite mindfulness attentional skills acquisition and psychological functioning.…”

“…An individual consequently develops emotional regulation strategies and emotional flexibility (Garrido & Schubert, 2013; van Goethem & Sloboda, 2011), alongside reduced emotional reactivity (Saarikallio & Erkkilä, 2007). Self-regulatory music listening also reduces LF-HRV and increases HF-HRV alongside alleviating perceived stress (Kachanathu, Verma, & Khanna, 2013; Latha, Srikanth, Sairaman, & Dity, 2014), implying improved physiological well-being as well (Berntson et al, 1997; Malik et al, 1996).…”

This study involved applying mindful awareness to external attentional targets by substituting the breath with nature sounds or music in mindfulness practice. We hypothesized that this would influence mindfulness attentional skills acquisition, psychological functioning, physiological well-being, and session attendance. Seventy-nine healthy adults either mindfully focused on the breath (Control), nature sounds (Nature Sounds), or music tracks (Music) throughout an 8-week structured group mindfulness program. Participants completed the Outcome Rating Scale and session rating questionnaire every session, and the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire, Brief Resilience Scale, and Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-42 at the start and end of the program. Heart rate variability was assessed using the Alive Programme at the start and end of the program too. We analyzed both quantitative and qualitative outcomes in this study. Both Nature Sounds and Music conditions had enhanced session attendance rates compared with the Control condition. Each condition showed unique patterns of mindfulness attentional skills acquisition. Furthermore, only Nature Sounds and Music conditions showed within-condition reductions in symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress. Participants in Nature Sounds and Music conditions also reported increased likelihood to generalise skills acquired in the sessions into daily life, noted imagery, and acknowledged the impermanence of their experiences. Future research should involve applying the current study’s protocol to suitable subclinical populations to further elucidate the process involved in mindfully attuning to nature sounds and music and to augment mindfulness attentional skills, psychological functioning, physiological well-being, and session attendance.
