“…In pre-operative settings, relaxing music is reported to reduce pre-operative anxiety to a greater extent than sedative oral pre-medication (Bringman et al, 2009). Furthermore, having children listen to music prior to and during procedures such as lumbar puncture (Nguyen et al, 2010) and when going through day surgery, adults is reported to reduce their anxiety (Nilsson et al, 2009).…”

“…In this study, we showed significantly lower HF components during music therapy than before therapy in patients with SMDC, which suggests that music therapy triggers the dominant state of sympathetic nervous activities. Previous studies have reported that relaxing music decreases the level of anxiety and reduces stress (Bringman et al 2009;Nilsson et al 2009). On the other hand, our results show that music therapy suppressed parasympathetic nervous activities during music therapy in patients with SMDC.…”

Severely and multiply disabled children (SMDC) are frequently affected in more than one area of development, resulting in multiple disabilities. The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of music therapy in SMDC using monitoring changes in the autonomic nervous system, by the frequency domain analysis of heart rate variability. We studied six patients with SMDC (3 patients with cerebral palsy, 1 patient with posttraumatic syndrome after head injury, 1 patient with herpes encephalitis sequelae, and 1 patient with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome characterized by frequent seizures, developmental delay and psychological and behavioral problems), aged 18-26 (mean 22.5 ± 3.5). By frequency domain method using electrocardiography, we measured the high frequency (HF; with a frequency ranging from 0.15 to 0.4 Hz), which represents parasympathetic activity, the low frequency/high frequency ratio, which represents sympathetic activity between the sympathetic and parasympathetic activities, and heart rate. A music therapist performed therapy to all patients through the piano playing for 50 min. We monitored each study participant for 150 min before therapy, 50 min during therapy, and 10 min after therapy. Interestingly, four of 6 patients showed significantly lower HF components during music therapy than before therapy, suggesting that these four patients might react to music therapy through the suppression of parasympathetic nervous activities. Thus, music therapy can suppress parasympathetic nervous activities in some patients with SMDC. The monitoring changes in the autonomic nervous activities could be a powerful tool for the objective evaluation of music therapy in patients with SMDC.

Relaxing music as pre‐medication before surgery: a randomised controlled trial

Abstract: Relaxing music decreases the level of anxiety in a pre-operative setting to a greater extent than orally administrated midazolam. Higher effectiveness and absence of apparent adverse effects makes pre-operative relaxing music a useful alternative to midazolam for pre-medication.
