“…Anxiety, known to cause high blood pressure, is a common phenomenon in cancer patients receiving therapy 40 . Prospective studies demonstrate that relaxation therapy reduces anxiety, which also results in lower blood pressure and respiratory rate 41 …”

Cardiovascular (CV) disease and cancer are the leading causes of death. 1 , 2 Over the last decades, it has been appreciated that both CV disease and cancer are more common in individuals in whom risk factors for disease development accumulate, and preventative measures have been extremely important in driving down the incidence of disease. 3–6 In general, the field of epidemiology, risk reduction, and preventative trials is divided into health care professionals who have an interest in either CV disease or cancer. As a result, the medical literature and medical practice has largely focused on the one disease, or the other. However, human individuals do not behave according to this dogma. Emerging data clearly suggest that identical risk factors may lead to CV disease in the one individual, but may cause cancer in another, or even both diseases in the same individual. This overlap exists between risk factors that are historically classified as ‘CV risk factors’ as these factors do equally strong predict cancer development. Therefore, we propose that a holistic approach might better estimate actual risks for CV disease and cancer. In this review, we summarize current insights in common behavioural risk factors for heart failure, being the most progressed and lethal form of CV disease, and cancer.

“…We are not aware of any other similar study on subjects diagnosed with SMI. There are, however, studies on different populations, such as children and adolescents [ 41 ], chemotherapy patients [ 42 ] and even cats [ 43 ]. As with HR, we also expected an RR reduction due to the final relaxation stage of the sessions.…”

Anxiety is an important and recurrent problem in people with severe mental illness (SMI). The aim of this work is to measure the effectiveness of the Music Therapy nursing intervention in reducing anxiety in outpatients diagnosed with SMI (bipolar disorder and schizophrenia). The intervention was structured over five weeks (ten 1-h sessions, twice weekly). Objective measures (blood pressure, heart rate, and respiratory rate) and subjective measures (anxiety response and the subjective perception of relaxation) were taken before and after every session. Our results show that this nursing intervention entails an objective reduction of the respiratory rate ((−4.5, −0.5) breaths per minute), the heart rate ((−5.80, −2.13) bpm), and it evidences a reduction in the subjective perception of anxiety (16.08% mean reduction in state anxiety). Considering all the sessions, the subjective perception of relaxation increased 97.33% of the time. This study provides evidence that the Music Therapy intervention can effectively promote relaxation and reduce anxiety symptoms in people with SMI. This study was retrospectively registered at Clinical Trials with Protocol Identifier NCT06315049.

“…When debridement and dressings were applied, there was a little drop in blood pressure and heart rate (Shijina et al 2019). In chemotherapy patients, music therapy significantly reduced patients' anxiety, blood pressure, and respiration rate (Imran 2017). Another study on the benefits of music therapy for cancer patients found that it maintains good effects on anxiety, pain, quality of life, heart rate, breathing rate, and blood pressure (Bradt et al 2016).…”

Diabetic distress (DD), which is unnoticed in diabetes, may lead to depression. The study's objectives are to identify DD in patients with diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) and to use music therapy to help them cope with their stressful circumstances and improve their overall wellness’ non-probability purposive sampling technique was used to assign 30 DFU patients, 15 each to the intervention group and the control group respectively. With the 17 items Diabetic Distress Scale (DDS), diabetes distress is assessed. Pretest is done on day one and post-test on day 21 for both the groups. During a period of 21 days, the intervention group received both routine treatment and music therapy for 20 minutes in the morning and the evening, while the control group received only routine treatment. The majority (53.3%) of the participants in control and intervention group was over 60 years old and was men. 93.3% participants of intervention and control group had moderate DD during pretest. Post test shows that the only 6.7% participants had moderate DD and 93.3% had no DD in the intervention group whereas the control group had no changes in distress level. The mean ± SD of overall DD scores was reduced in the intervention group from pretest to post-test (3.7 ± 0.6 to 2.4 ± 0.2) and increased in the control group from 3.4 ±0.5 to 3.8 ± 0.5. The distress associated with diabetes appears to be significantly reduced by music therapy. As a result, music therapy might be recommended as a complementary therapy for people with diabetes foot ulcers in order to preserve good physical and mental health and to improve quality of life.
