Abstract

The purpose of this investigation was to find the anxiety levels, physical data and subjective perception and explore the relationship between demographic, clinical and cancer patients’ variables, pre and post-procedure during a positron emission tomography/computed tomography PET-CT scan.

Highlights

The notion that “music is medicine” has roots that extend deeply into the history of mankind through healing rituals practiced in preindustrial societies based on tribes
Significant differences were found between the control group and the music group
With respect to the effectiveness of the music on the post-intervention State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) state anxiety score we found significant differences between the intervention group and controls (F = 416.408; p = 0.000; η2 partial = 0.79)

Summary

Introduction

The notion that “music is medicine” has roots that extend deeply into the history of mankind through healing rituals practiced in preindustrial societies based on tribes. Music is still used to promote health and wellness in clinical settings, such as pain management, relaxation, psychotherapy and personal growth. The potential therapeutic effects of listening to music have been largely attributed to its ability to reduce stress and modulate excitement levels. Listening to relaxing music (it is generally considered to have a slow rhythm, low tone and no lyrics) has been shown to reduce stress and anxiety in healthy subjects and in patients undergoing invasive medical procedures (e.g., surgery, colonoscopy, dental procedures, pediatric patients undergoing medical procedures or patients with coronary heart disease or surgery). It has been found to reduce sedation, as well as pain and the Citation: Martinez-Lorca A, Martinez-Lorca M (2022) Influence of Music in Anxiety Reduction in 18F-FDG PET-CT Studies.
