Music eases surgery and speeds recovery, Indian study finds
A recent study conducted in India has found that music can play a significant role in easing the process of surgery and speeding up the recovery of patients. The study, carried out by a team of researchers at a leading hospital in Mumbai, involved patients undergoing various surgical procedures while listening to music before, during, and after the operations.
The research, which spanned over a year and included a diverse group of patients, revealed that those who listened to music reported lower levels of anxiety both before and after the surgery. Additionally, the study found that patients who were exposed to music required lower doses of pain medication post-operation, indicating a higher pain tolerance.
Dr. Rajesh Sharma, the lead researcher on the study, emphasized the physiological and psychological benefits of music on patients undergoing surgery. He noted that music has the potential to reduce stress levels, lower heart rates, and create a more relaxed atmosphere in the operating room, which in turn can lead to better surgical outcomes and enhanced recovery.
The findings of this study align with previous research highlighting the positive impact of music on healthcare outcomes. As a result, there is growing interest among healthcare professionals in integrating music therapy into standard practice to improve patient experience and overall well-being.
While further research is needed to explore the underlying mechanisms of how music influences surgical outcomes, the current study underscores the potential of music as a non-invasive and cost-effective adjunct therapy in medical settings.
