Existing studies suggest that music therapy can have favorable effects on hypertension and anxiety. We therefore set out to investigate the effect of Turkish classical music.
To investigate whether Turkish classical music has positive effects on blood pressures and anxiety levels in elderly patients.
DESIGN, SETTING AND SUBJECTS: This was a randomized controlled trial performed on 60 hypertensive patients living in a local elderly home in Adana, Turkey.
Following the completion of a socio-demographic form for each patient, Hamilton anxiety scale was applied. Thereafter, the subjects were randomly divided into two equal-size groups and were allowed to either listen to Turkish classical music (music therapy group) or have a resting period (control group) for 25 min.
The primary and secondary outcome measures were blood pressure and Hamilton anxiety scale scores, respectively.
The mean reduction in systolic blood pressure was 13.00 mmHg in the music therapy group and 6.50 mmHg in the control group. The baseline adjusted between treatment group difference was not statistically significant (95% CI 6.80-9.36). The median reductions in diastolic blood pressures were 10 mmHg both in the music therapy and control groups. The between treatment group difference was not statistically significant (Mann-Whitney U test, P = 0.839). The mean reduction in HAMA-A was 1.63 in the music therapy group and 0.77 in the control group. The baseline adjusted between treatment group difference was not statistically significant (95% CI 0.82-1.92).
The study demonstrated that both Turkish classical music and resting alone have positive effects on blood pressure in patients with hypertension.
现有研究表明，音乐疗法对高血压和焦虑可能具有有益的影响。因此，我们着手研究土耳其古典音乐的效果。
研究土耳其古典音乐是否对老年高血压患者的血压和焦虑水平有积极影响。
设计、地点和对象：这是一项在土耳其阿达纳的当地一家养老院中进行的 60 名高血压患者的随机对照试验。
每位患者完成一份社会人口学表格后，使用汉密尔顿焦虑量表进行评估。然后，将受试者随机分为两组，每组人数相等，允许他们听土耳其古典音乐（音乐治疗组）或休息 25 分钟（对照组）。
主要和次要结果测量分别是血压和汉密尔顿焦虑量表评分。
音乐治疗组的收缩压平均下降 13.00mmHg，对照组下降 6.50mmHg。治疗组间的差异在基线调整后无统计学意义（95%CI 6.80-9.36）。音乐治疗组和对照组的舒张压中位数分别下降 10mmHg。治疗组间的差异无统计学意义（Mann-Whitney U 检验，P=0.839）。音乐治疗组的 HAMA-A 平均下降 1.63，对照组下降 0.77。治疗组间的差异在基线调整后无统计学意义（95%CI 0.82-1.92）。
该研究表明，土耳其古典音乐和单纯休息都对高血压患者的血压有积极影响。
