    Input: The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of music therapy on pain and anxiety in pediatric burn patients during nursing procedures . Nine subjects were r and omly selected to participate in this study . Qualitative and quantitative data was collected on the patients ' pain , anxiety , heart rate , blood oxygenation , and engagement level through measurement tools and interviews . The results from the qualitative and quantitative data indicated that music therapy reduced pain , anxiety , and behavioral distress . The quantitative data were analyzed and an inverse relationship between engagement in music therapy and lower behavioral distress scores was noted . Additionally , a linear relationship between engagement and behavioral distress was noted ; significance was found but was moderated by the age of the child . However , no significant relationship was found between heart rate and behavioral distress . The results from the qualitative data from the interviews with the patients , parents , nurses and music therapist indicated that music therapy reduced pain and anxiety , and that engagement in music therapy enhanced relaxation . In addition , music therapy positively affected patients ' mood , compliance , and the relaxation level . Finally , parents/guardians and nurses involved in the study reported that music therapy helped them to feel more relaxed as well Cancer patients continue to experience elevated levels of emotional distress , even after cancer treatment . Elevated emotional distress negatively impacts immune and endocrine functions and decreases life quality . This study explored the effectiveness of GIM in alleviating mood disturbance and improving quality of life in cancer patients . Eight volunteers with a cancer history were r and omly assigned to either an experimental or a wait-list control group . Experimental subjects individually participated in 10 weekly GIM sessions . All subjects completed the Profile of Mood States ( POMS ) and Quality of Life-Cancer ( QOL-CA ) question naires pretest , posttest , and at a 6-week follow-up . Individuals who participated in GIM sessions scored better on both mood scores and quality of life scores at posttest than those participating in the control group . Additionally , mood and quality of life scores continued to improve in the experimental group , even after sessions were complete . Results indicate that GIM was effective in improving mood and quality of life in these cancer patients This study examined the effects of  parent training in music and multimodal stimulation on the quantity and quality of parent-neonate interactions and the weight gain and length of hospitalization of premature and low birthweight ( LBW ) infants in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit ( NICU ) . Twenty sets of parents and premature LBW infants participated in the study . Parents in the experimental group ( n = 10 ) received approximately one hour of instruction in appropriate uses of music , multimodal stimulation including massage techniques , and signs of infant overstimulation and techniques for its avoidance .  Parent-neonate interactions , specifically parent actions and responses and infant stress and nonstress behaviors , were observed for subjects in both groups . Infant stress behaviors were significantly fewer and appropriateness of parent actions and responses were significantly greater for experimental infants and parents than for control subjects . Parents in the experimental group also self-reported spending significantly more time visiting in the NICU than did parents of control infants . In addition , length of hospitalization was shorter and average daily weight gain was greater for infants whose parents received training , although these differences were not significant . A one month , postdischarge follow-up showed little difference between experimental and control group parent-infant interactions in the home Receiving vaccinations is a part of growing up ; however , as necessary as vaccinations are , many children find them to be frightening and painful . Music has been examined as a potential distraction during pediatric medical procedures , but research findings have been mixed , due , in part , to the fact that children were primarily instructed to merely " listen to the music . " The present study sought to determine if a focus of attention activity involving music would affect levels of distress and perceptions of pain in pediatric injection patients . Sixty-four 4- to 6(1/2 ) -year old children receiving routine immunizations  were r and omly assigned to one of three conditions : musical story , spoken story , or st and ard care/control . Children in the two treatment conditions listened to a recorded story and pointed at corresponding pictures throughout the injection process . Observational data on distress and pain were collected , in addition to the child 's self-rating of pain . Participants in the musical story condition tended to be less distressed and report less pain than participants in the other two conditions , although these differences were not statistically significant . Subsequent analysis indicated that children who received more injections tended to benefit more from the music intervention , in terms of their perceived pain The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of music , progressive muscle relaxation ( PMR ) , and music combined with progressive muscle relaxation on the reduction of anxiety , fatigue , and improvement of quality of life in family hospice caregivers . Subjects ( N = 32 ) were divided r and omly into 4 groups : control , music only , progressive muscle relaxation only , and music combined with progressive muscle relaxation and were tested twice a week for a duration of 2 weeks . A pre and posttest measuring anxiety and fatigue was administered each session . Quality of life was measured only on the first and last session . Results of three-way mixed design ANOVA indicated no significant main effect for group . However , results revealed a significant main effect for pretest and posttest on anxiety F(1 , 28 ) = 51.82 , p < .01 and fatigue , F(1 , 28 ) = 32.86 , p < .01 . Significant difference on time effect were found for both anxiety F(3 , 84 ) = 3.53 , p < .05 and fatigue F(3 , 84 ) = 5.21 , p < .01 . Follow-up paired t tests used for posthoc testing were conducted to compare pre and posttest difference scores for each group separately . Statistical results indicated a significant difference in quality of life when comparing the subject sample as a whole across the four days of treatment period , F(1 , 28 ) = 14.21 , p < .01 . Follow-up paired sample t test indicated that the control and PMR group exhibited a significant difference in pre and posttest quality of life scores . There was a significant correlation between anxiety and quality of life ( r(32 ) = .75 , p < .01 ) , anxiety and fatigue ( r(32 ) = .55 , p < .01 ) , and fatigue and quality of life ( r(32 ) = -.53 , p < .01 ) This study tested effectiveness of music therapy in improving health-related outcomes of cardiac rehabilitation patients . Using a r and omized , controlled trial with follow-up , the study was conducted in an outpatient cardiac rehabilitation program in Ohio . Sixty-eight of 103 recruited patients , 30 to 80 years of age , completed the protocol through posttreatment . Physiological and psychological outcomes were measured .  Cardiac rehabilitation patients were r and omly assigned to cardiac rehabilitation only or to music therapy plus cardiac rehabilitation . Music therapy included musical experiences , counseling , and Music-Assisted Relaxation and Imagery . The null hypothesis of no differences in health-related outcomes between cardiac rehabilitation patients who experienced cardiac rehabilitation with and without music therapy was rejected due to changes in systolic blood pressure pre to post-treatment . Interpretation of changes at 4 months posttreatment in anxiety , general health , and social functioning are limited , due to small sample sizes at follow-up . Pre to post-music therapy session improvements were also reported . Findings suggest that some health-related outcomes may be affected positively by participation in music therapy in addition to cardiac rehabilitation . Attrition contributed to limitations in statistical power Organ transplant recipients characteristically experience low levels of relaxation and high levels of anxiety , pain , and nausea . Although music therapy has demonstrated effectiveness in ameliorating these types of conditions with patients in other areas of medical hospitals , no studies have evaluated the effects of music therapy on solid organ transplant patients . The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of music therapy on anxiety , relaxation , pain , and nausea levels in recovering patients on the adult transplant unit of the hospital utilizing a pre-posttest design . Participants ( N = 58 ) received an individual 15 - 35 minute music therapy session consisting of live patient-preferred music and therapeutic social interaction . To remain consistent with the hospital 's evaluative instruments during this pilot study , participants ' self-reported levels of anxiety , relaxation , pain , and nausea , were based on separate 10-point Likert-type scales . The principal investigator observed affect and verbalizations at pre and posttest . Results indicated there were significant improvements in self-reported levels of relaxation , anxiety ( both p < .001 ) , pain ( p < .01 ) , and nausea ( p < .05 ) . Although there was no reliability measure , there were significant increases in positive verbalizations and positive affect ( p < .001 ) . All participants reported that they would desire music therapy again during a future long-term hospital stay . From the results of this exploratory study , it seems that music therapy can be a viable psychosocial intervention for hospitalized postoperative solid transplant patients . Implication s for clinical practice and suggestions for future research are provided The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of music therapy on quality of life , length of life in care , physical status , and relationship of death occurrence to the final music therapy interventions of hospice patients diagnosed with terminal cancer . Subjects were adults who were living in their homes , receiving hospice care , and were diagnosed with terminal cancer . A total of 80 subjects participated in the study and were r and omly assigned to one of two groups : experimental ( routine hospice services and clinical music therapy ) and control ( routine hospice services only ) . Groups were matched on the basis of gender and age . Quality of life was measured by the Hospice Quality of Life Index-Revised ( HQOLI-R ) , a self-report measure given every visit . Functional status of the subjects was assessed by the hospice nurse during every visit using the Palliative Performance Scale . All subjects received at least two visits and quality of life and physical status assessment s. A repeated measures ANOVA revealed a significant difference between groups on self-report quality of life scores for visits one and two . Quality of life was higher for those subjects receiving music therapy , and their quality of life increased over time as they received more music therapy sessions . Subjects in the control group , however , experienced a lower quality of life than those in the experimental group , and without music , their quality of life decreased over time . There were no significant differences in results by age or gender of subjects in either condition . Furthermore , there were no significant differences between groups on physical functioning , length of life , or time of death in relation to the last scheduled visit by the music therapist or counselor . This study provides an overview of hospice/palliative care , explains the role of music therapy in providing care , and establishes clinical guidelines grounded in research for the use of music therapy in improving the quality of life among the terminally ill This study examined the physiologic and behavioral effects of music-reinforced nonnutritive sucking ( NNS ) for preterm , low birthweight ( LBW ) infants experiencing heelstick . Subjects were 60 infants , age 32 to 37 weeks post conceptional age in a neonatal intensive care unit . Infants were r and omly assigned to one of three treatment groups : pacifier-activated lullaby ( PAL ) , pacifier-only , and no-contact . Experimental infants were provided the Sondrex PAL System , which plays music contingent on infant sucking . Pacifier-only infants did not receive music reinforcement for sucking , and no-contact infants were not provided a pacifier or music at any point during the procedure . Stress level and behavior state were assessed continuously and heart , respiratory , and oxygen saturation rates were recorded at 15-second intervals for all infants . Most physiologic data results were inconclusive . However , analysis of behavior state and stress level revealed the following significant differences for the PAL and pacifier-only groups compared to the no-contact group , all of which were greatest between the PAL and no-contact groups : lower during-heelstick behavior state means , less time in undesirable behavior states , lower during- and post-heelstick stress level means , and smaller behavior state and stress level differences between intervals . In addition , the PAL group had a significantly lower pre-heelstick stress level mean than the no-contact group . Behavior state and stress level were also more stable across time for the PAL group than the other groups , and patterns of changes in oxygen saturation , behavior state , and stress level indicate that music-reinforced NNS may facilitate return to homeostasis BACKGROUND Individuals undergoing cardiac catheterization are likely to experience elevated anxiety periprocedurally , with highest anxiety levels occurring immediately prior to the procedure . Elevated anxiety has the potential to negatively impact these individuals psychologically and physiologically in ways that may influence the subsequent procedure . OBJECTIVE This study evaluated the use of music therapy , with a specific emphasis on emotional-approach coping , immediately prior to cardiac catheterization to impact periprocedural outcomes . METHODS The r and omized , pretest/posttest control group design consisted of two experimental groups -- the Music Therapy with Emotional-Approach Coping group [ MT/EAC ] ( n = 13 ) , and a talk-based Emotional-Approach Coping group ( n = 14 ) , compared with a st and ard care Control group ( n = 10 ) . RESULTS MT/EAC led to improved positive affective states in adults awaiting elective cardiac catheterization , whereas a talk-based emphasis on emotional-approach coping or st and ard care did not . All groups demonstrated a significant overall decrease in negative affect . The MT/EAC group demonstrated a statistically significant , but not clinical ly significant , increase in systolic blood pressure most likely due to active engagement in music making . The MT/EAC group trended toward shortest procedure length and least amount of anxiolytic required during the procedure , while the EAC group trended toward least amount of analgesic required during the procedure , but these differences were not statistically significant . CONCLUSIONS Actively engaging in a session of music therapy with an emphasis on emotional-approach coping
