“…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.

“…This is consistent with a previous study exploring the influence of music therapy on medical inpatients' overall satisfaction. 30 The measurement of satisfaction with hospice care is completed by family members, which may be biased based on the family member's needs and the latent, retrospective nature of the measures (i.e., 1-3 months post death). 8 Family ratings of satisfaction for hospice care are related to information about the family member's condition and medical treatment, the provision of adequate emotional support to the family member, and an identifiable nurse in charge of care.…”

Context: Music therapy is a common discretionary service offered within hospice; however, there are critical gaps in understanding the effects of music therapy on hospice quality indicators, such as family satisfaction with care. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine whether music therapy affected family perception of patients' symptoms and family satisfaction with hospice care. Methods: A retrospective, cross sectional analysis of electronic medical records from 10,534 cancer patients cared for between 2006-2010 by a large national hospice. Logistic regression was used to estimate the effect of music therapy using propensity scores to adjust for non-random assignment. Results: Overall, those receiving music therapy had higher odds of being female, having longer length of stay, and receiving more services other than music therapy, and lower odds of being married/partnered or receiving home care. Family satisfaction data were available for 1495 (14%) and were more likely available if the patient received music therapy (16% vs 12%, p<.01). There were no differences in patient pain, anxiety, or overall satisfaction with care between those receiving music therapy vs not. Patients who received music therapy were more likely to report discussions about spirituality (OR=1.59, p=.01), marginally less trouble breathing (OR = 0.77, p=.06), and marginally more likely to receive the right amount of spiritual support (OR = 1.59, p=.06). Conclusions: Music therapy was associated with perceptions of meaningful spiritual support and less trouble breathing. The results provide preliminary data for a prospective trial to optimize MT interventions for integration into clinical practice.

“…2 Opioid analgesics are one of the most common treatments for pain. 3 With deaths from opioid misuse up 400% since 1999, 4 almost half a million adolescents in the United States using opioids nonmedically, 5 and poisoning deaths from prescription drug use among teens aged [15][16][17][18][19] increasing from 30% of all poisoning deaths in 2000 to 57% of all poisoning deaths in 2009, 6 nonpharmacologic pain management strategies are urgently needed, particularly for children and adolescents.…”

“…17,18 Music therapy has shown positive impact on quality of life in hospital patients, improved patient satisfaction, and both anxiety and pain reduction. [19][20][21] A review of the acupuncture literature suggests positive evidence supporting the use of acupuncture for both acute and chronic pain in the pediatric population. 22 While adverse events have been reported, acupuncture is considered safe when performed by properly trained practitioners.…”

Background: Complementary and Integrative Medicine (CIM) shows positive clinical benefit with minimal side effects, yet, challenges to effective integration of CIM providers in biomedical health care settings remain. This study aimed to better understand the role evidence played in the process of integration of complementary therapies into a large urban pediatric hospital from the perspective of patients, caregivers, providers, and administrators through applied medical ethnography. Methods: An ethnography was conducted over the course of 6 months in a large urban pediatric hospital in the Southern United States. At the time, the hospital was piloting an integrative medicine (IM) pain consult service. Purposive sampling was used to select providers, patients, administrators, and caregivers to follow as they engaged with both the preexisting pain service and pilot IM pain services. Field observation and interviews were conducted with 34 participants. Thematic content analysis was used to analyze field notes, interview transcripts, and documents collected. Findings: Analysis of the data revealed five themes regarding the role of evidence in the process of integration: Anecdotal Evidence and Personal Experience Effecting CIM Use, Open to Trying Whatever Works, Resistance to the Unfamiliar, Patients and Parents Trusting Doctors as Experts, and Importance of Scientific Evidence to Biomedicine. All themes address the role of evidence in relationship to acceptance of complementary therapies and correspond with three thought processes: critical thinking, relying on others for evidence, and reactionary thinking. Conclusion: Both scientific and anecdotal evidence informed CIM use in this context. Biomedical environments seeking to integrate CIM into pain treatment regimens will need to engage all relevant stakeholders in building education, clinical training, and research programs that are critically informed about the context and evidence for CIM.
