The effect of music therapy during shockwave lithotripsy on patient relaxation, anxiety, and pain perception

Abstract

Objectives: To research the effect of listening to music during shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) on the patient's pain control, anxiety levels, and satisfaction. Patients and methods: The study comprised 400 patients from three hospitals. Half of patients listened to music during their first SWL session but not during their second session. The other half had no music for the first session but the second session was accompanied by music. During all sessions, with and without music, pulse rates, blood pressure, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-State Anxiety scores (STAI-SA), Visual Analog Scale (VAS scores for pain), willingness to repeat procedure (0 ¼ never to 4 happily), and patient satisfaction rates (0 ¼ poor to 4 ¼ excellent) were assessed. Results: There was no statistical difference between the two groups in terms of blood pressure and pulse rates. In both groups, the STAI-SA and VAS pain scores were lower in the session when music was listened to (p5 0.001). The patients requested more SWL treatment be completed while listening to music and their satisfaction was greater. Conclusion: Music lowered the anxiety and pain scores of patients during SWL and provided greater satisfaction with treatment. Completing this procedure while the patient listens to music increases patient compliance greatly and reduces analgesic requirements.

The therapeutic effect of relative satisfaction on pain treatment: focus on gobchuchum (a hunchback dance) of Ok-jin Gong

“…Vocal music therapy may be effectual in building necessary stepping-stones for effectual chronic pain management, in other words strengthened self-efficacy, motivation, empowerment, and social engagement (Bradt et al, 2016). Music decreases the anxiety and pain scores of patients during SWL and is associated with higher satisfaction scores for remedies (Akbas et al, 2016). Music engages a variety of brain areas involved in emotion, motivation, cognition, and motor skills, and musical input have been utilized to enhance socialization and cognitive, sentimental, and neuromotor operation (Raglio et al, 2015).…”

Effect of media distraction (audio‑visual and music) for pain and anxiety control in patients undergoing shock‑wave lithotripsy: A systematic review and meta‑analysis

“…1). Finally, 11 articles were included in this systematic review and meta-analysis (22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32). Details of the included studies are presented in Table I.…”

“…Details of the included studies are presented in Table I. Amongst all RCTs, only one was a cross-over trial (27). The sample size per arm in the included studies varied from 21-200 patients.…”

“…Similarly, a large ( n = 400) cohort of patients undergoing two sessions of shockwave lithotripsy and receiving recorded, self-selected music at different time intervals showed improved anxiety and pain scores, but equivalent vital signs measurements. These patients were not masked from the time at which the intervention was received, and therefore the study was subject to high potential bias ( 11 ).…”
