      • Music therapy is highly effective in reducing anxiety and pain and stabilizes physiological parameters, i.e., the heart rate and respiratory rate, after music sessions in mechanically ventilated patients. Studies show that music reduces agitation in confused patients, improves mood, and facilitates communication.

  1. Despite significant heterogeneity in trial designs, timing and features of the intervention, music therapy is consistently associated with a reduction in anxiety and stress of critically ill patients.

  2. Listening to music can be treated as a cheap, non-invasive, non-pharmacological method of reducing anxiety in patients. Music can have an analgesic effect, among others, by increasing the secretion of endorphins, peptide hormones produced in the central nervous system.

  3. Aug 17, 2023 · Music may be a useful treatment to alleviate anxiety. Music as a non-pharmacologic therapy has been widely studied and has shown beneficial effects in other settings, e.g. on perioperative anxiety and pain and neurohormonal stress response [14, 15].

    Chlan LL, Weinert CR, Heiderscheit A, Tracy MF, Skaar DJ, Guttormson JL, Savik K: Effects of patient-directed music intervention on anxiety and sedative exposure in critically ill patients receiving mechanical ventilatory support: a randomized clinical trial.JAMA 2013, 309:2335–2344.

    Alternatives to sedative medications, such as music, may alleviate the anxiety associated with ventilatory support.

    Objective:The aim of the study was to test whether listening to self-initiated patient-directed music (PDM) can reduce anxiety and sedative exposure during ventilatory support in critically ill patients. Design:This study was a randomized clinical trial. Setting:In 12 ICUs of five hospitals in the Minneapolis–St Paul, Minnesota area, 373 patients r...

    Patients in the PDM group listened to music for a mean of 79.8 (median (range) 12 (0 to 796)) minutes/day. Patients in the NCH group wore the noise-abating headphones for a mean of 34.0 (median (range), 0 (0 to 916)) minutes/day. The mixed-models analysis showed that, at any time point, patients in the PDM group had an anxiety score that was 19.5 p...

    Among ICU patients receiving acute ventilatory support for respiratory failure, PDM resulted in greater reduction in anxiety compared with usual care, but not compared with NCH. Concurrently, PDM resulted in greater reduction in sedation frequency compared with usual care or NCH, and greater reduction in sedation intensity compared with usual care ...

  4. Sep 12, 2016 · The authors review the literature on music therapy in medicine and its applications for intensive care unit patients, how it works and the best way to provide music therapy in the ICU. See Also: Favorite Music May Ease Anxiety in Critically Ill Hospital Patients.

  5. Music therapy for critically ill patients can effectively relieve negative emotions, improve their loneliness, anxiety and depression, and promote rapid recovery from illness. However, whether music therapy can improve anxiety, depression and sleep quality in ICU patients lacks a consensus.

  7. In 2018, the Society of Critical Care Medicine referred to music therapy as a non-pharmacologic pain therapy for critically ill patients. 4 As such, evidence is accumulating that music therapy can be an important treatment approach for critically ill patients.
