“…Studies showed that certain types of music can modify the level of certain immunological components such as immunoglobulin A (IgA) and natural killer cells (Hirokawa and Ohira 2003;Enk et al 2008). Other molecules, which are also changed by music, are markers of stress (Brennan and Charnetski 2000).…”

Myths about the power of music to regulate and change emotional states are found in each culture. Googling the words ''music and stress'' produces promises for different types of music specially designed to assist managing stress. Music therapists are familiar with using different techniques to reduce stress with different populations. This paper examines both the application of music to stress management and the neurological and physiological mechanisms of stress that can be modulated by music.

“…On the other hand, stress is states of threatened balance induced by external stressor and appear as the display of somatic and psychic reactions, struggling to regain homeostasis. Among stressful stimuli, noise which is the most prevalent and insidious natural pollutant causing hearing impairment, behavioral, mental and widespread disturbances at several levels in human organs and apparatus due to chemical and physiological modifications of endocrine, cardiovascular and nervous systems Also, noise is partially responsible for reduced reproductively and decrease in the number of fetuses of pregnant rats and had a lethal effect in mice embryos that were exposed to high frequencies of noise (Cyr, 2009 andEnk et al, 2010).…”

Background: Wound healing is a complex process involving intrinsic dermal and epidermal cells, and infiltrating macrophages and leukocytes.Noise and music exposure have long been used to investigate their effects on biological and biochemical responses.Objectives: Studyingthe possible acceleration effect of the process of wound healing after exposure to music, and the stressor effect after exposure to noise.Materials and Methods: Forty adult male albino rats of local strain were chosen as an animal model for this study. They were divided into four equal groups:Control group, wound group, stress-exposed group andmusic-exposed group. On the day of infection, superficial surgical wounds were produced on the shaved backs of anesthetized rats by making a longitudinal midline incision, 2.3 ± 0.2 cm in length and extending down to the panniculuscarnosus.At the end of the experiment (30 days), blood samples were obtained for estimation of WBC, neutrophils, lymphocytes and platelets count. Immediately after the animals were killed, 5-mm punch biopsy specimens of excised skin were taken, and immediately fixed in phosphate-buffered (pH 7.4) formalin (4%).Results: Stress-exposed group showed significant increase in both WBCs and neutrophils counts, and significant decrease in both lymphocytes and platelets counts. In music-exposed group, WBCs significantly increased and platelets significantly decreased. Histopathological examination revealed that the exposure to noise resulted in significantly slowed inflammatory process. This effect was demonstrated by increased infiltration of wounds with polymorphnuclear leucocytes (PMNL). The music exhibited significant acceleration of wound healing activity as compared to noise exposed group .The wound closure time was lesser, as well as the percentage of wound contraction was more. The epithelization of wound was found to be earlier as compared tonoise exposed group. Conclusion:Music has some antistressor effects and may accelerate wound healing.

“…2000) indicated that there is a positive relationship between relaxing music and immunological stress markers. Listening to and playing music are reported to modify the level of certain immunological components such as immunoglobulin A (IgA) and natural killer cells(Enk, R. et al 2008) and to elevate level of stress markers like cytokine IL-6 level and IL-10 improving mood(Wachi, M. et al 2007). Some of the relaxing properties of music are also reported to elicit biochemical measurable stress-reducing effects, such as reduction of inflammatory markers(Wachi, M. et al 2007).…”

At the most basic level, stress is our bodys response to pressures from a situation or lifes event. Although in short occurrence or at optimum level stress may be considered to have positive effects, excess and prolonged stress can cause physiological as well as psychological health disorders. Stress cannot be avoided or omitted, but one can reduce or manage the level of stress using several relaxation techniques. Through age-long research, listening to music has been proven to be a powerful tool for stress reduction. Music has been reported to have direct effects on nervous system, immunological and endocrine system of the human body. Amongst various neuroimaging techniques,electroencephalogram(EEG) is a useful electrophysiological biomarker to monitor the neuronal activities of the human brain with high temporal resolution. In research setting EEG signals are used in mental stress study. The present article attempts to review scientific literature in support of the pivotal role of music on stress reduction. Discussions on stress and its effects on human health are followed by the quantification of stress by EEG for identification and classification of stress. The role of music on stress reduction has been discussed with a light on musical neurofeedback as an effective measure for stress reduction. This comprehensive review would provide theoretical support for claims that music would act as stimuli for stress characterization and also would have its ability to serve as effective and potential measure for stress reduction in everyday life.
