Effect of Classical Music on Foetoplacental Circulation in Pregnancy Induced Hypertension Using Color Doppler Indices
Journal Title: International Journal of Physiology - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
Aim of present study was to see the effect of classical music on foetomaternal circulation in pregnancy induced hypertension using color doppler indices. Fifty subjects were divided into two groups: Group A of 25 subjects of pregnancy induced hypertension not subjected to listen music and Group B of 25 subjects of Pregnancy induced hypertension who were daily listening to music for a month. All the subjects were lying in age group of 25-32 years and having 28-34 weeks of gestation. Detailed history & complete general examination was done. BP was taken on two occasions at least 6 hours apart. Systemic and obstetrical examination was done in all subjects. Color doppler was done to assess the blood flow in bilateral umbilical arteries by measuring various doppler indices ultrasonologically : Pulsatility Index(PI), Resistivity index(RI) & Systolic diastolic ratio(S/D ratio). Then each subject of Group B was subjected to listen classical music daily for half an hour for one month at home during the period of relaxation in lying down position. Ultrasonologically foetal blood flow was again evaluated by color doppler method after one month in Group A & Group B. In both groups, the decreased vascular resistance was found with progression of pregnancy but Group A showed an increase resistance for that gestational age as compared to Group B suggesting decreased blood flow in foetomaternal circulation in subjects who were not subjected to listen music. Pulsatility Index among all three umbilical artery doppler indices were found to be most sensitive indicator of foetoplacental insufficiency. Thus we concluded that classical music has a therapeutic effect in Pregnancy induced hypertension in improving foetomaternal circulation.
