Objective: To analyze clinical and sociodemographic properties of the patients as measured by the “Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale-HADS” including the subscale regarding anxiety (HAD-A) in emergency department (ED) and to detect the effect of a session of Benson relaxation method (BRM) on high anxiety level. Methods: Adult patients presented to the state hospital ED in seven days were recruited in this prospective study. Patients with high (≥8) scores were randomized to the treatment or control groups. They were asked to pursue BRM to alleviate anxiety. Results: Six hundred thirty-four patients were recruited (mean age 44.1 and 52% were female). Patients with acute exacerbation or with psychiatric illness, with a systemic disease and higher acuity level had higher HAD-A scores ( P < .05). BRM group had a mean score change higher than controls (7.2 ± 2.9 vs 3.4 ± 2.6, t test, P = .026). Conclusions: Patients who underwent BRM had larger decreases in HAD-A scores than others.

“…The anxiolytic function of music listening enhances acceptance and living alongside pain. Lauche et al (2013) and Mohammadi et al (2013) suggest that through relaxation, pain-related distress is reduced. This is seen in this study, as anxiety scores were lowest during the relaxing music condition.…”

“…Interactive distraction methods, such as video games, virtual reality or card games, have been found to be distractors of sufficient magnitude for pain management for those suffering from laboratory-induced, acute pain (Wohlheiter & Dahlquist, 2013). Similarly, relaxation approaches are commonly used and taught in clinical settings (see Chen & Francis, 2010; Mohammadi, Rafii, & Jamshidi, 2013; Rejeh, Heravi-Karimooi, Vaismoradi, & Jasper, 2013). However, both interactive distraction and taught relaxation techniques require significant resources, either in terms of technology and materials or clinical expertise.…”

“…Therefore by harnessing familiarity and preference, individuals may be able to relax further, which helps manage pain-related distress, anxiety and depression (Bell & Meadows, 2013;Lauche et al, 2013;Mohammadi et al, 2013). To date, there is little evidence to show which type of music would be more effective for music listening for pain management: happy or relaxing music, or sad music through catharsis.…”

The effective management of pain outside of clinical settings represents a significant challenge to health services. Music listening has been successfully used as a method of pain management, with the greatest benefits to listeners evident if the music is familiar, preferred and has emotional resonance. This study examined the role of self-selected emotion-inducing music used for pain management (pain tolerance, intensity, perceived control, distraction and anxiety reduction) during the cold pressor test. In a repeated-measures design, four cold pressor tests were used to induce short-term, acute pain, whilst 41 participants listened either to happy, sad, relaxing or no music. Findings indicated that music enhanced pain tolerance over no music, and happy and relaxing music increased pain tolerance and altered time perception to a greater extent than sad music. Happy and relaxing music facilitated distraction from pain and enhanced perceived pain control. Relaxing music additionally had anxiolytic properties and reduced pain intensity. Results suggest that music's inclusion in pain management is justified and that music with happy and relaxing components can be used to facilitate coping with pain in a non-clinical context.

“…Relaxation aims to reduce anxiety, decrease muscle tension and bone and indirectly relieve pain and reduce tension related to the body’s physiological status ( 12 - 14 ). Several studies showed that relaxation is effective in reducing pain ( 12 , 14 - 22 ). Benson relaxation technique is simple, easy to learn and implementation and does not require high cost ( 23 ).…”

Background:Post-cesarean section women experience pain due to operative trauma. Pain sensation can be reduced by pain management. Pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments can be used. The Benson Relaxation Technique is a non-pharmacological way suitable to reduce pain, but there are limited studies on its post-cesarean section use.Objectives:This study aimed to determine the effect of Benson Relaxation Technique in reducing pain intensity in women after cesarean section.Patients and Methods:This was a quasi-experiment study with pre and post-test design. A prospective, not blind, randomized assign, two groups parallel study was conducted in Cibabat hospital Cimahi as intervention group (IG) and Sartika Asih hospital as control group (CG). Post cesarean section women with quota sampling who met the inclusion criteria were consecutively assigned to either experimental (n = 30) or control group (n = 30). Women in the experimental group received the Benson relaxation technique and those in the control group received regular care from the health workers. The outcome pain severity was measured by visual analogue scale. Those instruments were applied before and after intervention.Results:The mean of pain score before intervention at CG was 4.43 cm. It was decreased to 4.40 cm (1 min), 4.27 cm (12 h), 4.10 cm (24 h), 4.00 cm (36 h), 3.93 cm (48 h), 3.83 cm (60 h), 3.67 cm (72 h) and 3.51 cm (84 h). Meanwhile, the IG was 4.97 cm. It was decreased to 4.90 cm (1 min), 4.23 cm (12 h), 3.57 cm (24 h), 3.03 cm (36 h), 2.77 cm (48 h), 2.73 cm (60 h), 2.67 cm (72 h) and 2.63 cm (84 h). The study found a significant difference comparing pain intensity before and after the intervention in CG and IG (P = 0.001), but pain reduced in IG more than CG.Conclusions:The Benson relaxation could reduce pain intensity in women after cesarean section.
