“…Music listening is strongly associated with stress reduction by the decrease of physiological arousal as indicated by reduced cortisol levels, lowered heart rate, and decreases in mean arterial pressure (e.g., Burrai et al, 2016;Koelsch et al, 2016;Kreutz et al, 2012;Linnemann et al, 2015). Music can also reduce negative emotions and feelings, such as subjective worry, state anxiety, restlessness or nervousness (Akin & Iskender, 2011;Cohen et al, 1983;Pittman & Kridli, 2011;Pritchard, 2009), and increase positive emotions and feelings, such as happiness (Jäncke, 2008;.…”

Music therapy is increasingly being used as an intervention for stress reduction in both medical and mental healthcare settings. Music therapy is characterized by personally tailored music interventions initiated by a trained and qualified music therapist, which distinguishes music therapy from other music interventions, such as 'music medicine', which concerns mainly music listening interventions offered by healthcare professionals. To summarize the growing body of empirical research on music therapy, a multilevel meta-analysis, containing 47 studies, 76 effect sizes and 2.747 participants, was performed to assess the strength of the effects of music therapy on both physiological and psychological stress-related outcomes, and to test potential moderators of the intervention effects. Results showed that music therapy showed an overall medium-to-large effect on stress-related outcomes (d = .723, [.51-.94]). Larger effects were found for clinical controlled trials (CCT) compared to randomized controlled trials (RCT), waiting list controls instead of care as usual (CAU) or other stress-reducing interventions, and for studies conducted in Non-Western countries compared to Western countries. Implications for both music therapy and future research are discussed.

“…Music is widely known to enhance well-being, reduce stress and distract patients from unpleasant symptoms by exerting direct physiological effects through the autonomic nervous system (Kemper & Danhauer, 2005). Listening to relaxing music lowers perceived stress levels, as indicated by reduced cortisol levels, lowered heart rate, and lowered mean arterial pressure (Burrai, Hasan, Fancourt, Luppi, & DiSomma, 2016;Lai & Li, 2011). Bieligmeyer (2015) studied the effects of the Tao sound-bed (Benedek) on oncology patients and found significant changes of inner balance, vitality, and vigilance.…”

Introduction: This study aims to evaluate the effects of live music therapy on heart rate variability (HRV) and self-reported stress and anxiety among hospitalized women with high-risk pregnancies. A total of 102 women at an antenatal ward due to pregnancyrelated complications participated in a randomized controlled trial. Methods: The participants were randomly assigned to a music therapy group (N = 52) or control group (N = 50). The women in the music therapy group received live music therapy on three consecutive days, for half an hour at a time. The participants belonging to the control group were instructed to rest for equally long time periods. The physiologic stress of the participants was assessed using HRV measures. The participants also rated their perceived stress and anxiety. The physiologic stress of the participants was assessed using 12 HRV measures. Results: The SD2 measure of HRV increased significantly more in the music therapy group than in the control group during the therapy sessions. Moreover, the low frequency (LF) HRV measure decreased during the three-day therapy period. The self-reported stress was not significantly altered after the intervention. For women with high initial self-reported anxiety in both groups, their anxiety was significantly reduced during the three-day period.

“…Music therapy is a recognized discipline linked to improved hemodynamics in patients with chronic illness (Raghavan & Eknoyan, 2014). In the past few years, nurse researchers have studied the effects of music with rigorous randomized controlled trials in several care settings such as surgical (Ugraş et al, 2018), critical care (Hetland et al, 2017), neonatology (Taheri, Jahromi, Abbasi, & Hojat, 2017), AIDS care (Bremner, Blake, Wagner, & Pearcey, 2016), and cardiology (Burrai, Hasan, Fancourt, Luppi, & Di Somma, 2016). In numerous studies involving patients receiving hemodialysis, music ameliorated a variety of complications including pain, cramps, and itching (Koca Kutlu & Eren, 2014).…”

Background: Participation in music therapy is associated with improved psychological and physical indices among chronically ill patients. Listening to music during hemodialysis treatments positively affects patients’ hemodynamics, laboratory values, quality of life, and physical symptoms. The effect of live singing during hemodialysis treatments, however, has not previously been studied. Methods: A total of 24 participants with a diagnosis of end-stage kidney disease participated in the study. The vocalist was a musically trained dialysis nurse. Twelve of the patients listened to 15 min of live singing during 6 consecutive hemodialysis sessions, while the other 12 underwent standard hemodialysis. After a washout period of 2 days, the two groups were reversed. Results: Listening to live music was associated with improvements in systolic and diastolic blood pressure, better quality of sleep, fewer cramps, and reduced anxiety/depression, pain, and itching ( p < .05, all values). Conclusions: Listening to live music during hemodialysis is an effective and potentially low-cost therapy for the dialysis care team to employ during hemodialysis treatments.
