“…Most of studies on HRV and music have been experimental rather than interventional, reporting significant changes in HRV as a function of musical mood (Etzel et al, 2006 ), genre (Bernardi et al, 2006 ), familiarity (Iwanaga et al, 2005 ), or tempo(Ellis, 2009 ; Fukumoto and Matsuo, 2010 ). Few reports exist of musical interventions that have included HRV as an index of autonomic function (Kemper et al, 2008 ; Okada et al, 2009 ; Ellis and Thayer, 2010 ; Roque et al, 2013a , b ), and very few on musical stimuli and HRV in VS/UWS patients (Riganello et al, 2010a , b ; Yen et al, 2010 ; Lee et al, 2011 ). However, it was suggested that the effect of music on cerebral processes in patients might reflect its capacity to act both on the external and internal neural networks supporting consciousness (Perrin et al, 2015 ).…”

Activations to pleasant and unpleasant musical stimuli were observed within an extensive neuronal network and different brain structures, as well as in the processing of the syntactic and semantic aspects of the music. Previous studies evidenced a correlation between autonomic activity and emotion evoked by music listening in patients with Disorders of Consciousness (DoC). In this study, we analyzed retrospectively the autonomic response to musical stimuli by mean of normalized units of Low Frequency (nuLF) and Sample Entropy (SampEn) of Heart Rate Variability (HRV) parameters, and their possible correlation to the different complexity of four musical samples (i.e., Mussorgsky, Tchaikovsky, Grieg, and Boccherini) in Healthy subjects and Vegetative State/Unresponsive Wakefulness Syndrome (VS/UWS) patients. The complexity of musical sample was based on Formal Complexity and General Dynamics parameters defined by Imberty's semiology studies. The results showed a significant difference between the two groups for SampEn during the listening of Mussorgsky's music and for nuLF during the listening of Boccherini and Mussorgsky's music. Moreover, the VS/UWS group showed a reduction of nuLF as well as SampEn comparing music of increasing Formal Complexity and General Dynamics. These results put in evidence how the internal structure of the music can change the autonomic response in patients with DoC. Further investigations are required to better comprehend how musical stimulation can modify the autonomic response in DoC patients, in order to administer the stimuli in a more effective way.

“…In fact, the quantitative physiological measurements such as electroencephalogram (EEG), electrocardiogram (ECG) and blood pressure have been used to assess the level of consciousness of patients in VS [4]. Some phenomena of MT were observed in our previous publish, including decreased heart rates and increased heart rate variability (HRV) in one VS patient [5]. Although there are few examples, other researchers have confirmed this result [3].…”

This is a study focused on circulatory system of music therapy on vegetative state patient after a consecutive 41-day experiment. In this study, Mahler's symphony no.2 was used for this music therapy. Mahler's symphony no.2, Resurrection, is good for music therapy. With various elements in Mahler's second symphony, with string, wind, drum, and even voice; providing a strong and dynamic stimulation. There are some significant changes after 14-day stimulation: both the standard deviation of time sequence (SDNN) of the subject increased while the standard deviation of SDNN (SDNN-std) also increased significantly, indicating the circulatory system the activity of the cardiovascular system was enhanced. As for SDNN, the increase rate is more than 75% from the beginning. Although there's only one subject in this experiment, the significant results are still encouraging. 2011 11th IEEE International Conference on Bioinformatics and Bioengineering 978-0-7695-4391-8/11 $26.00

This case study centered on the effects of Music Therapy (MT) on vegetative state (VS) patients for a continuous 41-day experiment with electrocardiogram (ECG) recorded. Mahler's Second Symphony was used for this MT. There are various elements in Mahler's second symphony, with string, wind, drum, and even voice; providing the subject a strong and dynamic stimulation. There are some significant changes after 14-day stimulation: both standard deviation of all normal RR intervals (SDNN) and root mean square successive differences (RMSSD) in heart rate variability of the subject increased, indicating the activity of the cardiovascular system was enhanced. Although there's only one subject in this experiment, the results are still encouraging.
