THE ROLE OF MUSIC THERAPY IN POSTOPERATIVE ANALGESIASTUDY AT A TERTIARY CARE CENTER

Dr. Shruti, Dr. Omais

Abstract :

 A randomized prospective clinical study was conducted involving 60 patients with ASA I &II risk in the age group 18–60 years of either sex undergoing elective surgeries under general anaesthesia after obtaining informed written consent. Group M received music therapy preoperatively for 20 minutes, throughout the intra operative period and postoperatively for 30 minutes through headphones. Group C were made to listen to music only preoperatively and intraoperatively headphones was placed with no music. Significant statistical difference in the blood pressure p <0.001 observed during the intraoperative and postoperative period in both the groups. The pain scores were significantly lower in the study group (P<0.001). The study group had a statically significant longer duration of postoperative analgesia. Thus we conclude that music therapy is a safe, cheap and effective method in providing the postoperative analgesia as an adjuvant to conventional methods.
