Filter by:The main purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of music therapy on the upper extremity functions and quality of life of individuals with Cerebral Palsy (CP). The secondary aim is to investigate the effect of music therapy on the sensory functions of the upper extremity in individuals with CP. Adolescent individuals with hemiparetic CP will participate in this study, and the participants will experience music therapy, which is a scientific intervention approach. If music therapy has a positive effect on upper extremity functions, they will be more active in daily life and their quality of life will increase. In the light of these data to be presented, a contribution will be made to the evidence level of music therapy in the literature and to the content of SP upper extremity rehabilitation.
To evaluate the effects of music therapy in the care of antepartum mothers admitted for long-term hospitalization due to the high-risk status of their pregnancy. The investigators speculate that mothers who receive music therapy will be more successful in forming positive coping habits, bonding with their infant, and increasing the length of incubation during their pregnancy. Furthermore, there is no research that correlates music therapy applied to stress reduction, increased coping, and increased caregiver-infant bonding prior to birth within one protocol. However, there is a significant amount of research supporting music therapy efficacy with neonatal intensive care unit infants and caregiver bonding post-partum as well as improved physiological signs of stress in infants in the post-partum period.
The present research seeks to determine whether a single responsive music therapy intervention combined with virtual reality (RMT+VR) reduces prevalent symptoms and improves their overall well-being in hospitalized adult patients with advanced oncologic disease receiving palliative care. This is a prospective study of a randomized clinical trial with a control group. The main variables are pain, exhaustion, drowsiness, nausea, loss of appetite, dyspnea, depression, anxiety, sleep and well-being as well as heart rate.
Can music theraphy during mechanical ventilation in the ICU, decrease the need of pharmacological sedation? Included patients will listen to music selected by a music therapist via headphones two times one hour during two days. Effects on heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate and dosing of pharmacological sedation will be observed. 100 patients will be included and radomized equally to earphones with and without music.
The study will be carried out in Bolu Abant İzzet Baysal University İzzet Baysal Training and Research Hospital Cardiovascular Surgery Clinic between January 2022 and February 2023. The population of the study will consist of patients who will undergo coronary artery bypass in a planned heart and meet the inclusion criteria. The sample of the study will consist of patients who meet the inclusion criteria, volunteer to participate in the study, and whose written consent has been obtained. To calculate the sample size of the study; NCSS Pass 11.0 program was used. According to the result calculated in this program, it was seen that a total of 60 people, 30 people in each group, should be reached for two groups and 99% power (α: 0.05). With this study, it is aimed to increase the job satisfaction and quality of nurses as well as to increase the satisfaction of the patients in terms of nursing. By presenting the Complementary Care Model to our country for the first time with this study; In this context, it was planned to determine the effects of music therapy, progressive muscle relaxation exercise, aromatherapy and massage on the outcomes (nausea, vomiting, sleep, anxiety, pain, complications and satisfaction) of coronary artery bypass graft patients.
Since the 1990s, neuroscience, with functional MRI, has made it possible to understand the beneficial neurophysiological effect of music on man and his brain. They have shown that music stimulates brain plasticity and contributes to the reorganization of the affected neural circuits. The concept of cerebral plasticity and cerebral symphony have thus been developed. In March 2008, the HAS (High Authority for Health) proposed in its recommendations good practices concerning the management of neurodegenerative diseases that "Music therapy, aromatherapy, multisensory stimulation ... could improve certain of behavior's aspects ". Music has shown that memory capacity can remain present in people with Alzheimer's disease even in the advanced stages. Music also improves the well-being of patients with Alzheimer's or mixed dementia living in institutions and reduces the suffering of caregivers. It improves communication with others, including those who have lost the usual codes of communication and improves the quality of sleep of elderly people living in institutions. However, although musical interventions have recently gained popularity as a non-pharmacological treatment for dementia, the scientific evidence warrants further research.
1. OBJECTIVES: General objective: Assess the effects of a music therapy intervention during the weaning from the mechanical ventilation in a group of patients, and compare it to the usual clinical practice. Specific objectives: Main objective: assess the effect of a music therapy intervention on the length of the weaning in a group of critical patients, and compare it to a group of critical patients who receive the usual clinical practice. Secondary objectives: - Compare the levels of sedo-analgesia required in critical patients receiving the music therapy intervention during the process of weaning versus the levels of sedo-analgesia required by the control group. - Compare the Anxiety-agitation level in critical patients receiving the music therapy intervention during the process of weaning, versus the anxiety-agitation leved felt by the control group. - Compare the level of pain in critical patients receiving the music therapy intervention during the weaning versus the level of the pain felt by the control group. - Compare the level of delirium in critical patients receiving music therapy during the weaning versus the level of delirium of the control group. - Compare heart and breath frequency, blood pressure and oxygen saturation in critical patients receiving music therapy during the mechanical ventilation extubation (weaning) process, versus the index of control group. - Compare the stress perceived in critical patients receiving music therapy intervention during the mechanical extubation process, versus the level of the control group, which receives the usual medical care (without intervention with music therapy), 90 days after Inico of the process, Perceived the Stress Scale (PSS). - Describe and analyze the experience by the patient of the intervention with music therapy the weaning process and the coping strategies possible for musicotherapeutic intervention, using a Semi-instructed interview that takes place at 90 days beginning the process. 2. DESIGN: single blind clinical trial in parallel groups, single blind clinical trial. 3. POPULATION of this study are patients who initiate weaning for ventilation mechanics.
The music therapy intervention it is dedicated to premature baby and their family at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU)of the Woman-Child department "Hospital Del Ponte". In NICU an integrated psychological and music therapeutic protocol has been structured. The protocol aims to limit or overcome long-term developmental morbidities, promote parenting and attachment bond in preterm infants. Protocol is named "Premature family music therapy intervention (PFMI): an Italian protocol to support parenting, attachment bond and preterm development". The methodologies will provide early intervention from the first days of hospitalization in NICU and use music therapy sessions "active" (chant parental, live music and lullaby) and "receptive" (listening to recorded tracks). Such therapy becomes a support for the born prematurely and her parents during hospitalization and after discharge. The music therapy accompanies the newborn and his parents during the hospitalization and focuses its attention on the emotional-relational care, according to the different needs of babies and parents. This protocol it is a Family Centered Care Music Therapy Intervention.
Introduction: There is an increase on cancer prevalence and, consequently, a higher number of people that require palliative care, making an influence on the family and the main carer. Objectives: - To evaluate the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of a music intervention program, applied as a complementary therapy, in oncological palliative care patients and carers at home, compared to current treatment. - To assess if patients in the intervention group submit significant differences regarding: pain, anxiety, depression, modo, insomnia, and life quality. - To assess if carers in the intervention group present significant differences regarding the Caregiver Burden Scale and life quality. - To evaluate patients and carers satisfaction on the therapeutic intervention. - To estimate the cost-effectiveness of the intervention. Method: Randomised, double-blind, multi-centre clinical trial in the field of primary health care, conducted in 5 clinical management units belonging to Málaga-Guadalhorce health district and performed in oncological palliative care patients and carers. Two samples of 40 palliative care patients and two samples of 41 carers. The intervention group will undergo a 7-days intervention with music sessions, the control group will be given seven sessions of retraining in therapeutical education. Objectives will be evaluated through the following tools: Edmonton Scale, Symptom Assessment System, EORTC QLQ-C30, Caregiver Burden Scale, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Accelerometer, Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), The Quality of Life Family Version, Client Satisfaction Questionnaire and Economical valuation. To assess the objectives evaluations will be performed through home visit, both pre-intervention and a week after the beginning of the intervention for both groups. A follow-up visit will be made a month after the intervention to regard some economical parameters. Statistical analysis: The basal values of both groups will be compared. These values will be compared before and after the intervention, in the control and intervention group through Student t-test for normal continuous variables, and through Wilcoxon t-test for paired data in not normal continuous variables. In addition to the bivariated analysis, a multiple lineal regression will be carried out. The economical valuation will be a cost-effectiveness analysis. For each group we will measure cost, incremental cost, AVAC effectiveness, incremental effectiveness, dominance and, in case there is none, the results will be expressed in terms of incremental cost-effectiveness. To assess the costs, direct sanitary costs and intervention related costs will be considered. SPSS 23 will be the statistical software to use, along with Epidat 3.01. 95% confidence range will make p values under 0,05 (p<0.05) statistically significant.
Admission to an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is one of the major causes of stress and both physical and emotional difficulties for critically ill patients, both because of the illness that caused the admission and of the ICU nevironment itself. Despite the use of protocols and tools to evaluate sedation, many patients continue to have high levels of anxiety. An inadequate treatment of this condition is associated with increased sympathetic activity which causes dyspnea and an increase in myocardial oxygen consumption. Sedative drugs, on the other side, may have significant side effects. In view of this, there is clear need to find new strategies and instruments allowing for the maximization of critical patients' comfort, by promoting pain, anxiety, stress and agitation relief and minimising the need of sedative therapy. The main hypothesis of this study is that the use of music therapy for critically ill patients can lead to a significant increase of the days free from neuroactive therapy (analgesics, sedatives, antianxiety meds, antipsychotics) in the first 28 days following Intensive Care Unit admission. To this purpose, data obtained from 3 groups of patients will be compared - a group with individual treatment administered by a music therapist and delivered by headphones, a group with a generalised treatment, through the creation of a weekly musical program continuously broadcasted in the hospital room, and a control group.
