“…This is congruent with results from a study by Ersöz et al (2010) who reported women to have a significantly higher state of anxiety than men prior to colonoscopy (Ersöz et al, 2010). This is also in line with earlier findings showing both men and women to be more anxious prior to a colonoscopy than they normally were (El-Hassan et al, 2009). In a randomized, controlled trial, patients who listened to self-selected music 15 minutes prior to colonoscopy reduced their anxiety level significantly more that patients who did not listen to music prior to the colonoscopy (Haynes et al 2003).…”

“…Given this, the change of the mean pulse rate and mean blood pressure in the control group is likely to be higher. This supports a possible anxiolytic effect of music [12,13].…”

Objective: To assess the effects of playing patient-selected music during interventional procedures on (1) the doses of sedation and analgesia and (2) anxiety levels. Methods: Patients undergoing interventional radiological procedures were randomised to either the intervention (music) or the control (no music) group. Patients in the intervention group had music of their choice played via headphones during the procedure. The primary outcomes were reductions in the doses of drugs for sedation (midazolam) and analgesia (fentanyl). Anxiety levels were assessed both before and after the procedure using the validated State Anxiety Inventory. Mean pulse rate and average of mean blood pressures were also recorded before and during the procedures as surrogate indicators of anxiety levels. Results: 100 patients were randomised in a 1:1 ratio. There were 58 males and 42 females, with a mean age of 58 years. Sedation was required in 21 (42%) patients in the music group compared with 30 (60%) patients in the control group (p50.046). The mean [standard deviation (SD)] midazolam dose was 2.1 mg (2.3 mg) in the control group and 1.3 mg (2.2 mg) in the music group (p50.027). The mean (SD) fentanyl dose was 29 mg (40 mg) in the control group and 18 mg (34 mg) in the music group (p50.055). There was no significant effect of music on the change from baseline in anxiety levels (p50.74), pulse rate (p50.56) or blood pressure (p50.34). Conclusion: Sedation requirements are significantly reduced by playing self-selected music to the patient during interventional radiology procedures. By lowering sedation during interventional radiology, music makes the procedure safer. It also contributes favourably to the overall patient experience.

Music therapy is the use of intervention to accomplish individual goals within a therapeutic relationship by a professional who has completed and approved music therapy programme. Music has several physiological effects including positive effects on mood, a reduction of anxiety, stress and a lowering of blood pressure. There are several types of music therapy. Music therapy procedures are structured as either receptive or active. Music therapy methods include music recreation, improvisation, composition, listening and receptive experience. In modern health care, music has several applications in the perioperative setting, neurology, family medicine, paediatrics, obstetrics, interventional procedures, the critical care unit, pain management, palliative care and cancer. Though it has some limitations, there is ample scientific evidence to support the beneficial use of music therapy as a low-cost therapy with no side effect in various clinical situations in current health care settings. This article describes the various applications of music in modern health care.
