Musical interventions and music therapy in pain treatment: literature review

Authorship SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:

Music therapy is an approach that promotes positive effects on cognitive, emotional, psychological and social aspects, favoring quality of life. It also helps to control psychological and physical symptoms, such as anxiety, depression, and pain, as well as promoting relaxation, pleasure, and the strengthening of interpersonal relationships. The influence of music on pain is still a topic with little clarifying results in the literature. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of musical interventions and music therapy in the treatment of acute or chronic pain.

CONCLUSION:

Music can reduce pain, however, the results show that there is controversy in the studies analyzed on the analgesic role of music on pain. There is controversy about the effects of music therapy or musical interventions on pain, as well as its adverse or side effects. This may be related to the methods and their results with low scientific evidence.

Evaluate the available information on nursing interventions for venous ulcer pain management.	A study with one group of patients who listened to relaxing music and another group with music of the patient’s preference during the dressing change procedure: there was pain reduction immediately after dressing change when listening to music of preference. Because there was no statistical significance, the conclusion was that there was no reduction in pain.

Acta Paul Enferm. 2019;32(3):350-7.	Identify studies on the efficacy of non-pharmacological methods to reduce pain in laboring women in the national and international literature.	An experimental randomized study showed that after the first hour of labor there was a significant reduction in pain. Another experimental randomized study found that pain scores were significantly lower when compared to the control group, and that the results of music therapy were similar to those of cryotherapy. The conclusion was that music promotes relaxation and decreases levels of anxiety.

Study the unconventional support techniques for controlling children’s behavior during dental care.	One study found increased satisfaction and decreased pain sensation with treatment. Another study states that, although listening to music does not seem to be effective in reducing pain, anxiety, and uncooperative behavior in pediatric patients, patients reported that they really enjoyed listening to music during the visit.
