Study of Effect of Music on Blood Pressure
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Research Professionals - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Background: Anxiety can lead to acute rise of blood pressure which can be seen with patients in a variety of medical settings and this maybe a result of concern in these settings. Controlling blood pressure (BP) reduces the cardiovascular outcomes as well as the quality of life. Studies show positive effects of music as an adjuvant in the treatment of several diseases. Present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of music on the BP of normo-tensive individuals. Methods: This was an experimental study that evaluated patients of both genders, aged between the age groups of 30-50 years, without the history of hypertension or on treatment of hypertension. They were divided into a study group and a control group. The study group participated in the music therapy for 30 minutes whereas the control group didn’t. Before and after the music, the BP of each patient was measured in study group. BP of second group was measured two times with a gap of 30 minutes. Results: There was a significant difference in the blood pressure both systolic and diastolic was observed in the study group who were asked to listen music for 30 minutes. There were no significant changes observed into the control group who were not considered for music therapy. Conclusions: Music therapy has contributed to a significant change in the blood pressure of individuals in persons without any history of hypertension. This suggests that the music therapy may be a part of a therapeutic approach to help strengthen the programs of multidisciplinary care of hypertensive patients.
