Music therapy and aromatherapy have been demonstrated effective for perioperative anxiety. However, the available studies have indicated discordant results about which adjunct treatment is better for perioperative anxiety. Therefore, we conducted this meta-analysis to explore the contrasting effects between them.
Six electronic databases were searched for clinical trials evaluating the efficacy of music therapy compared with aromatherapy in alleviating perioperative anxiety. The primary outcome was the postintervention anxiety level. Secondary outcomes included differences in blood pressure and heart rate before and after the intervention as well as pain scores at intraoperative and postoperative time points. The study protocol was registered on PROSPERO (CRD42021249737).
Twelve studies (894 patients) were included. The anxiety level showed no statistically significant difference (SMD, 0.28; 95% CI: -0.12, 0.68; p = 0.17). The analysis of blood pressure and heart rate also did not identify statistically significant differences. Notably, the pain scores at the intraoperative time point suggested that aromatherapy was superior to music therapy (WMD, 0.29 cm; 95% CI: 0.05, 0.52; p = 0.02), while those at 4 h after surgery indicated the opposite results (WMD, -0.48 cm; 95% CI: -0.60, -0.36; p < 0.001).
Low-to-moderate quality evidence suggests that music therapy and aromatherapy have similar potential to relieve perioperative anxiety. The potential data indicate that the two therapies have different benefits in intervention duration and age distribution. More direct high-quality comparisons are encouraged in the future to verify this point.
音乐疗法和芳香疗法已被证明可有效缓解围手术期焦虑。然而,现有研究表明,哪种辅助治疗对围手术期焦虑的效果更好,其结果存在差异。因此,我们进行了这项荟萃分析,以探讨它们的对比效果。
检索了六个电子数据库,以评估与芳香疗法相比,音乐疗法在缓解围手术期焦虑方面的疗效的临床试验。主要结果是干预后的焦虑水平。次要结果包括干预前后血压和心率的差异,以及术中及术后时间点的疼痛评分。该研究方案已在 PROSPERO(CRD42021249737)上注册。
共纳入 12 项研究(894 例患者)。焦虑水平无统计学显著差异(SMD,0.28;95%CI:-0.12,0.68;p=0.17)。血压和心率的分析也未发现统计学差异。值得注意的是,术中时间点的疼痛评分表明,芳香疗法优于音乐疗法(WMD,0.29cm;95%CI:0.05,0.52;p=0.02),而术后 4 小时的疼痛评分则相反(WMD,-0.48cm;95%CI:-0.60,-0.36;p<0.001)。
低至中等质量的证据表明,音乐疗法和芳香疗法在缓解围手术期焦虑方面具有相似的潜力。潜在的数据表明,这两种疗法在干预持续时间和年龄分布方面具有不同的益处。鼓励未来进行更多直接的高质量比较,以验证这一点。

结论
低至中等质量的证据表明,音乐疗法和芳香疗法在缓解围手术期焦虑方面具有相似的潜力。潜在的数据表明,这两种疗法在干预持续时间和年龄分布方面具有不同的益处。鼓励未来进行更多直接的高质量比较,以验证这一点。
