Effect of music therapy on blood pressure of individuals with hypertension: A systematic review and Meta-analysis

Relaxing music reduces blood pressure and heart rate among pre‐hypertensive young adults: A randomized control trial

“…In our study, DBP reduced slightly from 73.33 mmHg to 71.89 mmHg after 4 weeks of music therapy among the pre-hypertensive young adults; however, the reduction of 1.44 mmHg was not statistically significant. Results of our study in terms of DBP matched with the meta-analysis carried out by Amaral et al, 6 they reported a non-significant difference in DBP between the music groups compared to controls. Kunikullaya et al 7 found that music therapy along with lifestyle change can significantly reduce the DBP in both hypertensive and pre-hypertensive adults, this statement disagrees with the findings of this study.…”

Musical auditory stimulus acutely influences heart rate dynamic responses to medication in subjects with well-controlled hypertension

“…1 there are several ways to establish an effective treatment but controlling blood pressure alone is inadequate. Music therapy has been investigated as a possible contributor to the treatment of hypertension 6 .…”

“…Recently, adaptations in life-style have gained attention as a primary preventive of hypertension 1 – 3 . Music therapy is therefore a complementary intervention currently being investigated in cardiovascular physiology 4 , 5 and hypertension treatments 6 .…”

“…The samples located in the study references ranged between 30 and 60 subjects with a patient mean age of 60 to 93 years. The review indicated that music therapy had significant positive effects on systolic arterial pressure (SAP) (−6.58 mmHg; 95% CI, −9.38 to −3.79 mmHg; p < 0.0001), but no significant statistical influence on diastolic arterial pressure (DAP) (−1.76 mmHg; 95% CI: −5.61 to 2.09 mmHg; p = 0.37) in hypertensive subjects 6 .…”

“…Pentalaksanaan nonfarmakologis yang telah terbukti dan bermanfaat dalam pengendalian hipertensi intradialisis yaitu intradialytic exercise dan teknik relaksasi seperti terapi musik. Penatalaksanaan non farmakologis ini dapat membuat tubuh menjadi lebih stabil/fit, lebih berenergi dan membuat tidur menjadi lebih baik, sehingga dapat mengurangi kebutuhan penggunaan obat antihipertensi 6,7 . Intradialytic exercise dan terapi musik klasik dapat meningkatkan pengontrolan tekanan darah pada pasien yang mengalami hipertensi, dan menurunkan resiko kematian akibat penyakit ganguan kardiovaskuler 8 .…”
