The Medicine of Music: A Systematic Approach for Adoption Into Perianesthesia Practice

Critical period for acoustic preference in mice

“…Using fluoxetine to inhibit 5-HT transport from P4 to P21 showed supporting results (66). Music therapy is reported to produce anxiolytic effects in various clinical settings, such as in perioperative patients, patients with dementia, or mechanically ventilated patients (18,31,34,67). The relationship between music, anxiety, and plasticity and a potential mediating role of the mPFC underlying this relationship warrants further investigation.…”

“…Music is reported to reduce anxiety in specific situations ("state anxiety"), such as clinical settings (31)(32)(33)(34), and animals exposed to music exhibit anxiolytic effects (35,36). Instead, there is limited efficacy of music for treating anxiety in adults, but it may have more potential in children and adolescents (37,38).…”

Effects of soothing images and soothing sounds on mood and well‐being

“…Indeed, research has found that music has health and psychological benefits (Cassileth et al, 2003; Siedliecki & Good, 2006) due to its influence on the limbic system, which is associated with emotions, feelings and sensations. Music therapy has been used to reduce stress and pain, and enhance emotional health and sleep quality (Beccaloni, 2011; Bruscia, 1991; Chang et al, 2012; Harmat et al, 2008; Hedge, 2014; Morin et al, 2006; Standley, 2002) and used in mental health treatment for depression and anxiety (Erkkilä et al, 2011). In a qualitative study, participants described listening to music as a way to distract from, or mask unpleasant emotional states, although it was acknowledged that this was a temporary solution (Stewart et al, 2019).…”

The Effects of Perioperative Music Interventions in Pediatric Surgery: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

“…Furthermore authors recommended exploring possibly differential effects of live music therapy versus recorded music interventions. Apart from the Cochrane reviews, thirty descriptive and systematic reviews on the effects of music interventions on perioperative pain and anxiety in adults were published[ 2 , 24 – 40 ]. Together the body of evidence suggests that music therapy in the perioperative setting has the potential to positively affect pain outcomes, anxiety and distress.…”
