“…Numerous studies have shown that music is effective in reducing stress or anxiety [2,6,8,[15][16][17][18][19][20]. McCaffrey and Locsin presented the use of music listening as an effective, noninvasive intervention designed to assist nurses in creating a healing environment to promote health and well-being.…”

Control of stress and anxiety and the promotion of comfort are challenges facing health practitioners involved in catheterization. The aim of this case-control study was to examine the effect of music on the levels of anxiety, stress, and depression experienced by patients undergoing coronary angiography, as measured by the 21-item Depression Anxiety Stress Scales. Differences in pre-and post-intervention scores demonstrated that there were significant decreases in mean scores of state anxiety (P = 0.006), stress (P = 0.001) and depression P = 0.02) in the intervention group, who listened to 20 minutes of relaxing music, as compared with the control group who had 20 minutes of bed rest. ‫ﺔ‬

Music listening has been suggested to have short term beneficial effects. The aim of this study was to investigate the association and potential mediating mechanisms between various aspects of habitual music listening behaviour and physiological and psychological functioning. An internet based survey was conducted in university students, measuring habitual music listening behaviour, emotion regulation, stress reactivity, as well as physiological and psychological functioning. A total of 1230 individuals (mean 24.89 AE 5.34 years, 55.3% women) completed the questionnaire. Quantitative aspects of habitual music listening behaviour, i.e. average duration of music listening and subjective relevance of music, were not associated with physiological and psychological functioning. In contrast, qualitative aspects, i.e. reasons for listening (especially 'reducing loneliness and aggression', and 'arousing or intensifying specific emotions') were significantly related to physiological and psychological functioning (all p 0.001). These direct effects were mediated by distress augmenting emotion regulation and individual stress reactivity. The habitual music listening behaviour appears to be a multifaceted behaviour that is further influenced by dispositions that are usually not related to music listening. Consequently, habitual music listening behaviour is not obviously linked to physiological and psychological functioning.

“…White noise is characterized by a small range of intensity [21], while the intensity of music fluctuates. Musical auditory stimulation influences the limbic system [22], but it has not yet been established whether white noise induces a positive or negative response in the cognitive system. In this context, it may be postulated that the effects of auditory stimulation on the cardiac autonomic regulation depend on the type of auditory stimulation.…”

Acute Effects of Auditory Stimulation With Heavy Metal Music on Heart Rate Responses

The relationship between music and medicine is a fast growing area that in the past has been largely focused on the use of music as an alternative and complementary therapy [1]. Relaxant music has been reported to present positive influence on stress reduction, relaxation, pain management, neural cognition and cardiac function [2,3]. Auditory stimulation with music is known to induce several psychological responses, leading to changes in the autonomic nervous system [4,5].In this context, the heart rate variability (HRV) is a non-invasive method that evaluates the cardiac autonomic control in humans, it is a conventionally accepted term to describe the fluctuations in the intervals between consecutive heart beats (RR intervals), which are related to the influences of the ANS on the sinus node [6].Great part of studies has observed the relaxing effect of classical music. On the other hand, genres such as heavy metal, hip hop and techno music are commonly associated with physiologic excitement [7].Although two recent studies showed reduced HRV during exposure to heavy metal musical auditory stimulation in healthy women [8,9], others found absence of cardiac Aim. Investigate the acute effects of heavy metal musical auditory stimulation on cardiac autonomic regulation. Material and methods. this is a prospective study conducted on 22 healthy women between 18 and 30 years old. All procedures were performed in the same soundproof room. the volunteers remained at rest for 20 minutes and subsequently were exposed to heavy metal (75-84 dB) music for 20 minutes. We analysed the following HRV indices: SdNN, RMSSd, pNN50, LF, HF and LF/HF ratio, RRtri, tINN, Sd1, Sd2 and Sd1/Sd2 ratio. Results. during exposure to heavy metal music auditory stimulation we observed that the LF (ms 2 ) tended to increase (p=0,06) and reduce HF (nu) (p=0,07) and the LF/HF ratio increased (p=0,05). No significant changes were found for SdNN, pNN50, RMSSd, SdNN/RMSSd ratio, tINN, RRtri, Sd1, Sd2 and Sd1/Sd2 ratio. Conclusion. Auditory stimulation with the selected heavy metal musical style acutely decreased HRV. Keywords: cardiovascular system, autonomic nervous system, hearing, music.
