“…The study by Valet and associates 28 also confirmed the opinion of Cook 29 that music therapy could divert patients' attention from fear of pain and that is the reason why so many clinical research studies had reported music therapy could be widely used in both acute pain and chronic pain treatment. 30,31 In addition, some studies even reported that music intervention could reduce the dose of analgesic and sedation drugs in invasive procedures. 23,32 Careful consideration is needed when selecting music for the purpose of releasing both pain and anxiety.…”

“…Listening to music reduces acute and chronic pain (Guétin et al, 2012; Roy et al, 2012; Korhan et al, 2013). Several studies have suggested that the analgesic effect of music (or music-induced analgesia) may be secondary to cognitive and emotional effects that arise from listening to music: distraction from the pain, pleasantness, and pleasure, memory evoked emotions and relaxation (Mitchell et al, 2006; Juslin and Västfjäll, 2008; Roy et al, 2008, 2009; Wiech and Tracey, 2009; Bernatzky et al, 2011; Salimpoor et al, 2011).…”

Music reduces pain and increases functional mobility in fibromyalgia

et al. 2014

The pain in Fibromyalgia (FM) is difficult to treat and functional mobility seems to be an important comorbidity in these patients that could evolve into a disability. In this study we wanted to investigate the analgesic effects of music in FM pain. Twenty-two FM patients were passively exposed to (1) self-chosen, relaxing, pleasant music, and to (2) a control auditory condition (pink noise). They rated pain and performed the “timed-up & go task (TUG)” to measure functional mobility after each auditory condition. Listening to relaxing, pleasant, self-chosen music reduced pain and increased functional mobility significantly in our FM patients. The music-induced analgesia was significantly correlated with the TUG scores; thereby suggesting that the reduction in pain unpleasantness increased functional mobility. Notably, this mobility improvement was obtained with music played prior to the motor task (not during), therefore the effect cannot be explained merely by motor entrainment to a fast rhythm. Cognitive and emotional mechanisms seem to be central to music-induced analgesia. Our findings encourage the use of music as a treatment adjuvant to reduce chronic pain in FM and increase functional mobility thereby reducing the risk of disability.

“…Consequently, distraction was associated with reduced pain intensity, unpleasantness, and pain-related activation in the brain, specifically in the "medial pain system". Valet et al [21] confirmed the opinion of Cook et al [22] that music could divert patients' attention from the fear of pain, and as such provided an explanation on why music could be considered a useful option for the treatment of acute and chronic pain [23,24]. In addition, other studies have reported that patients undergoing music therapy during invasive procedures can tolerate pain at lower analgesic or sedative doses [25,26].…”

Hand-Holding during Cystoscopy Decreases Patient Anxiety, Pain, and Dissatisfaction: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

et al. 2017

Objective: Often a sick or an anxious person can experience pain or anxiety relief if another person holds his or her hand. In this study, we conducted investigations to determine whether hand-holding during cystoscopy decreases patient anxiety, pain, and dissatisfaction while at the same time increasing patient comfort and tolerance during the procedure. Patients and Methods: Eighty-six male patients who underwent flexible cystoscopy between November 2015 and March 2017 were randomized as follows: hand-holding (group I, n = 43) or non-hand-holding (group II, n = 43) during the procedure. Before flexible cystoscopy, lidocaine gel was instilled in the urethra. Patients’ anxiety levels were quantified using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory. A visual analog scale (0–10) was used for self-assessment of satisfaction, discomfort, and willingness to undergo repeat cystoscopy. Results: Demographic characteristics, mean age, procedure duration, procedure indications, and preprocedural analyses did not differ significantly between the 2 groups. In group I, the postprocedural mean anxiety level, pain score, heart rate, and systolic blood pressure were significantly lower compared with those in group II (p = 0.009, p = 0.003, p = 0.022, and p = 0.014, respectively). In group I, postprocedural mean satisfaction score were higher, and patients were more likely to undergo a repeat cystoscopy, compared with those in group II (p = 0.001 and p = 0.004, respectively). Conclusions: Hand-holding during cystoscopy significantly reduced patients’ feelings of anxiety, pain, discomfort, and dissatisfaction. Hand-holding served as a simple, inexpensive, and effective adjunct to sedation during cystoscopy.

The Effects of Music Intervention in the Management of Chronic Pain

Abstract: These results confirm the value of music intervention to the management of chronic pain and anxiety/depression. This music intervention method appears to be useful in managing chronic pain as it enables a significant reduction in the consumption of medication.
