“…17 It has continually demonstrated efficacy in easing pain and anxiety in a wide variety of environments and various potentially stressful procedures. 18,19 Indeed, combined audio and visual distraction techniques have demonstrated strong utility in lowering pain and anxiety levels through decreased salivary cortisol levels. 20 Despite this success, music as an analgesic and anxiolytic method has only recently been investigated in urodynamic evaluation, 21 where no improved benefit was seen in patients who listened to music or viewed educational videos compared in addition to routine care.…”

Introduction: We sought to determine whether listening to patientselected music during urodynamic study (UDS) reduced pain and anxiety while increasing overall patient satisfaction and willingness to repeat the procedure.Methods: Fifty-one (51) patients who underwent UDS from March to July 2014 were randomized into two groups: Group 1 with patient-selected music during the procedure (n=27) and Group 2 without music (n=24). Standard multichannel filling cystometry was performed. Anxiety was self-assessed using the State Trait Anxiety Inventory, while overall pain, satisfaction, and willingness to undergo the procedure again were self-measured using a visual analogue scale.Results: Demographic characteristics and reasons for testing were similar between the two groups. The state score for Groups 1 and 2 were 27.04 and 29.5, respectively (p=0.3225) and 31.78 and 33.86, respectively (p=0.4970) for the trait score. The mean pain scores were 1.04 and 1.57, respectively (p=0.2047); the mean satisfaction scores were 0.65 and 0.52, respectively (p=0.8169); and the scores for willingness to undergo the procedure again were 0.77 and 0.74, respectively (p=0.9442). While there were no significant differences between the two groups in anxiety and satisfaction scores, pain, and willingness to undergo the procedure again, both groups commented on the nurse as the most important factor in their overall comfort.Conclusions: Music during UDS did not appear to lower pain and anxiety, nor increase overall satisfaction and willingness to repeat the procedure. The most important aspect in alleviating patients’ pain and anxiety was the person actually performing the testing, highlighting the importance of having trained and dedicated staff.

The approaches have predominantly been studied using open-label and/or uncontrolled study designs and small sample sizes with no random assignment, making it difficult to draw conclusions about efficacy Kwekkeboom et al, 2010;Shneerson, Taskila, Gale, Greenfield, & Chen, 2013).…”

Cancer-related fatigue (CRF) has deleterious effects on physical, social, cognitive, and vocational functioning, and causes emotional and spiritual distress for patients and their families; however, it remains under-recognized and undertreated. This article critically reviews and integrates the available empirical evidence supporting the efficacy of pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic treatment approaches to CRF, highlighting new evidence since 2007 and 2009 Putting Evidence Into Practice publications. Interventions that are recommended for practice or likely to be effective in improving fatigue outcomes include exercise; screening for treatable risk factors; management of concurrent symptoms; yoga; structured rehabilitation; Wisconsin ginseng; cognitive-behavioral therapies for insomnia, pain, and depression; mindfulness-based stress reduction; and psychoeducational interventions such as anticipatory guidance, psychosocial support, and energy conservation and activity management. This information can be applied to improve the management of CRF, inform health policy and program development, shape the design of clinical trials of new therapies for CRF, and drive basic and translational research.

“…A systematic review of managing procedural pain showed that non-pharmacological interventions including nonnutritive sucking, music, swaddling, positioning, olfactory and multi-sensory stimulation, kangaroo care and maternal touch lead to favorable effects on the reduction of motor activity, heart rate and respiratory rate and on the excitation state after invasive measures in preterm and term neonates (Cignacco et al, 2007). Music listening can significantly reduce anxiety, depression, pain, and fatigue in patients with cancer (Tsai et al, 2014). In contrast, no significant difference was observed between group anxiety means and preoperative anxiety was not reduced in a study of the effects of music on elective, non-diagnostic surgery patients (Gaberson, 1995).…”

Aim: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of music on preoperative state anxiety and physiological parameters including heart rate, respiratory rate and mean systolic, and diastolic blood pressure in 60 patients undergoing general surgery. Methods: The study was designed as a randomized quasi-experimental trial. A total of 60 patients were allocated to two equal groups. Subjects in the trial group listened to non-vocal classical music through headphones for 20 minutes before entering the operating theater. State anxiety was measured by the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), and the physiological parameters by pulse CO-oximeter (Masimo RAD-57C, Finland). The results obtained were finally analyzed by SPSS software version 16 using chi-square and t-tests. Results: There was an insignificant difference in demographic data between the two groups (p > 0.05), but before and after listening to music, a significant difference was observed in state anxiety (p < 0.01). Conclusions: Significant differences in both state anxiety and physiological parameters confirmed that music as a non-pharmacological intervention can be used as a complementary tool in nursing care.
