Hypertension is a serious medical condition, the frequency of which increases significantly with age; has a negative impact on certain health complications; and increases the rate of mortality. Music therapy as a nonpharmacological treatment has many positive effects on an individual's body and mind. A randomized controlled trial was used to evaluate the effects of music therapy on blood pressure, heart rate, and anxiety levels in older adults with hypertension living in a nursing home. Sixty older adults were randomly divided into experimental and control groups ( = 30 each). Significant reductions in systolic blood pressure, heart rate, and anxiety levels were found in older adults with hypertension receiving music therapy compared with the control group. The current study confirms music therapy as a safe, noninvasive, nonpharmacological, and cost-effective intervention for reducing blood pressure, heart rate, and anxiety levels in older adults with hypertension.

高血压是一种严重的病症，其发病率会随着年龄的增长而显著增加；对某些健康并发症有负面影响；并会提高死亡率。音乐疗法作为一种非药物治疗方法，对个体的身心有诸多积极影响。一项随机对照试验用于评估音乐疗法对居住在养老院的老年高血压患者的血压、心率和焦虑水平的影响。60名老年人被随机分为实验组和对照组（每组30人）。与对照组相比，接受音乐疗法的老年高血压患者的收缩压、心率和焦虑水平显著降低。当前研究证实，音乐疗法是一种安全、无创、非药物且具有成本效益的干预措施，可降低老年高血压患者的血压、心率和焦虑水平。[（2），85 - 92页]
