High stress and anxiety in healthy individuals may lead to use different pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies. The study aimed to investigate the effect of different genres of music on anxiety and relaxation in healthy participants. This study was a randomized controlled trial with a cross-over design. Forty-six healthy undergraduates participated in the study and randomly received different genres of music (Pop, Rock, Western Classical, and Persian Traditional) and silence for five consecutive days between February and June 2018. Each participant was her/his own control. Relaxation and the State Anxiety were checked with Smith Relaxation States Inventory 3 and The State Anxiety Inventory before and after listening to 15 min of music or laying down in silence. None of the five procedures were preferred for a more relaxing effect (P > 0.05). Also, none of the interventions were preferred for reduction of the state anxiety (P > 0.05). Although different genres of music, i.e., Pop, Rock, Western Classical, Persian Traditional, could reduce state anxiety and improve relaxation, they had no extra effect compared to Silence.
健康个体的高压力和焦虑可能导致使用不同的药理学和非药理学疗法。本研究旨在调查不同类型的音乐对健康参与者焦虑和放松的影响。这是一项随机对照试验，采用交叉设计。46 名健康大学生参加了这项研究，他们在 2018 年 2 月至 6 月期间连续 5 天随机接受了不同类型的音乐（流行音乐、摇滚音乐、西方古典音乐和波斯传统音乐）和安静的环境，每位参与者都是自己的对照。在听 15 分钟音乐或安静地躺下前后，使用 Smith 放松状态量表 3 和状态焦虑量表检查放松和状态焦虑。没有一种程序更有利于放松（P>0.05）。此外，干预措施都不能减轻状态焦虑（P>0.05）。尽管不同类型的音乐，如流行音乐、摇滚音乐、西方古典音乐、波斯传统音乐，可以减轻状态焦虑和改善放松，但与安静相比，它们没有额外的效果。
