“…Recently, it was demonstrated that allowing patients to listen to the classical or selected favorite music is effective in alleviating acute stress caused by an acute-short term stress factor especially in hospitalized patients and in patients waiting for surgery [ 15 , 28 – 31 ]. Furthermore, providing a choice of music was considered a critical factor in lowering anxiety, promoting relaxation, and pain relief [ 15 ].…”

Background The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of listening to Tibetan music on anxiety and endocrine, autonomic, cognitive responses in patients waiting for urologic surgery. Methods Sixty patients waiting for surgery were enrolled to the study. They were randomized in music (M) and control (C) groups. The M group listened to a low-frequency Tibetan music for 30 min (T0–T30) through headphones, and the C group wore headphones with no sound. The State Trait Anxiety Inventory Questionnaire (STAI) Y-1 was administered at T0 and T30. Normalized low (LFnu) and high frequencies (HFnu) of heart rate variability, LF/HF ratio, and galvanic skin response (GRS) data were analyzed at T0, T10, T20, T30, and T35. The salivary α-amylase (sAA) samples were collected at T0, T35, and T45. Results In the M group, the STAI Y-1 score decreased at T30 versus baseline (p < 0.001), sAA levels decreased at T35 versus T0(p=0.004), and GSR remained unchanged. In the C group, the STAI Y-1 score remained unchanged, sAA level increased at T35 versus T0(p < 0.001), and GSR slightly increased at T35 versus baseline (p=0.359). LFnu was lower, and HFnu was significantly higher (T10–T30) in M versus C group. Mean LF/HF ratio slightly reduced in the M group. Conclusions Our results suggest that preoperative listening to relaxing Tibetan music might be a useful strategy to manage preoperative anxiety.

“…On the basis of previous investigations, a sample size of 22 subjects per group was able to detect a normalized LF decrease of 8.5% in stress-induced students after listening music for 20 min (assuming α = 0.05 and power = 0.95) [ 28 ]. This number was increased to 30 per group to allow for a 35% patients dropout rate.…”

“…29 Furthermore, listening to music can engender hemodynamic changes (including decreased heart rate and blood pressure) 30 , the release of endorphins, and the activation of dopaminergic system 31 and autonomic nervous system (parasympathetic nervous system). 32 Soothing music has 60-80 beats per minute or less. 33 Soothing music enhances parasympathetic activities that results in a reduction in the respiration rate and heart rate, while exciting music stimulates the sympathetic nervous system with an increase in the heart rate and respiration rate.…”

“…Music therapy is mostly conducted in groups and has been implemented in combination with other activities (e.g., listening, singing, performance) as an intervention (Shin & Kim, ). Listening to music promotes positive changes in various physical and psychological indicators (e.g., anxiety, pain, heart rate, blood pressure, and salivary cortisol concentration) (Feng et al., ; Kleiber & Adamek, ; Lai & Li, ; Lee, Jeong, Yim, & Jeon, ). Singing positively influences emotional affect (Kreutz, Bongard, Rohrmann, Hodapp, & Grebe, ).…”

Aims:To explore the effects of preferred music therapy on peer attachment, depression, and salivary cortisol among early adolescents.Background: As adolescents enter puberty, they start to seek partnering relationships among peers. Peer attachment is central for adolescents and greatly influences their physical and psychological development. Design: A pre-test-posttest control group design. Methods: The data were collected from July -October 2016. A total of 65 individuals were included. The treatment group received 40 min of music therapy twice per week over the course of 10 weeks. The control group maintained its typical routine. The research data were collected using structured questionnaires, including basic information, the Inventory of Peer Attachment, the Beck Depression Inventory-II questionnaires, and salivary cortisol concentrations. Statistical analysis methods included percentages, chi-square tests, t tests, analyses of covariance, and the Johnson-Neyman technique.Results: There were statistically significant differences in peer attachment, depression, and salivary cortisol levels in the music group compared to the control group (p < 0.05). Additionally, the findings showed that early adolescents with more severe depression experienced greater improvement through preferred music therapy. Conclusion:The results allude to the beneficial effects of receiving preferred music therapy in terms of the peer attachment, depression, and salivary cortisol levels of early adolescents. Adjustments should be made based on the characteristics of student groups to develop suitable and safe music therapy and to reduce the risks of poor mental health.

Effects of Music Therapy on the Cardiovascular and Autonomic Nervous System in Stress-Induced University Students: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Abstract: Classical music tends to relax the body and may stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system. These results suggest music therapy as an intervention for stress reduction.
