Filter by:In this study, the effect of music on arterial blood pressure, anxiety level, fetal heart rate and maternal-fetal attachment in pregnant women with gestational hypertension will be studied and it will be conducted as a randomized controlled intervention study to examine the relationships with each other. The sample group will consist of 90 pregnant women, 45 in the intervention group and 45 in the control group. Within the scope of the study, the data will be collected using the 'Personal Information Form, State-Trait Anxiety Scale (STAI TX-I)', Maternal-Fetal Attachment Scale (MFA) created by the researcher, and the systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure of each patient will be measured with a calibrated sphygmomanometer (the same sphygmomanometer was used for each patient), fetal heart rate (FHR) and fetal movements (FM) will be measured by Electronic Fetal Monitoring and Nonstress test (NST). Data will be analyzed using SPSS-25 package.
The goal of this study is to examine changes in the brain, behavior, and personal experience when music is used to guide learning of finger movement sequences (compared to visual stimuli alone) in healthy older adults. The main research questions this study aims to answer are: 1. Is auditory-based motor training associated with increased structural integrity of brain white matter tracts (connecting auditory-motor regions) compared to motor training with visual cues only? 2. Is auditory-based motor training (as compared to visual clues only) associated with increased brain cortical thickness, and changes in brain activation while performing a task in the MRI and while at rest, in auditory and sensorimotor regions? 3. Does auditory-based motor training lead to greater motor improvement on the trained task compared to a visually cued motor training? 4. Does auditory-based motor training lead to greater improvement on thinking, movement, and self-reported wellbeing measures, compared to visual cues alone? In an 8-week home training, participants will be randomized into either the music-cued motor learning (Experimental Group) or visually cued only condition (Control Group), participants will complete the following measures before-and-after the training is administered at week 1 and in the end of the 8-week trial: - MRI scans (structural and functional) - Behavioral measures (motor, cognition) - Questionnaires administered pre-and-post training (psychosocial functioning). - Questionnaires administered once only (personality traits, musical background) - In between measures, participants will follow an online computer-based training at home of 20 minutes per session, 3 times per week for 8 weeks, for a total of 24 sessions constituting 8 hours of training.
It has been reported that non-pharmacological methods can be used as an alternative in addition to pharmacological methods to reduce pain, anxiety, stress and inflammatory response that begins with the surgical incision in the intraoperative period and continues throughout the operation. It has been reported that music can be used as an alternative non-pharmacological method to reduce pain and anxiety in the perioperative period, as well as surgical stress and the related stress response. The aim of this study is to test the hypothesis that music used as a non-pharmacological method in the intraoperative period can reduce inflammatory response in living donor hepatectomy.
This 6 - 12 week longitudinal study will include patients with Dementia. Participants will be randomized into one of two groups: a) an intervention group, in which patients will listen to music using Rubato Life app, and b) a control group, in which patients will receive standard of care. Patients in intervention group will be asked to listen to at least 30 minutes per day, (or a total of 3.5 hours per week) for a period of 6 -12 weeks, coming up to their scheduled follow up appointment. Patients in the Intervention group will wear smartwatches to monitor heart rate variability throughout the study.
This study was conducted as a randomized controlled trial. This study was conducted to determine the effect of music on nonstress test and pregnant woman's satisfaction. The study was conducted with pregnant women who applied for non-stress testing at a hospital in Samsun, Turkey, between September 2021 and September 2022. Pregnant women who met the research criteria were divided into two groups: physical and control groups. The research was completed experimentally with a total of 111 pregnant women, 56 experimental and 55 control. The researcher had a face-to-face interview with all the pregnant women and filled out the "Pregnant Introduction Form". Then, the vital signs of the pregnant women were taken and the pregnant women were placed in the left side-lying position. Fundus height, situs and position were determined using Leopold maneuvers. During the non-stress test shooting, the music group was allowed to listen to music for at least 20 minutes during the NST period. No intervention was made to the control group. After the non-stress test is completed, the "Satisfaction Evaluation Scale" is taken by the pregnant woman herself. The "Nonstress Test Monitoring Form" was filled out by the researcher through notification. The data of the study were evaluated using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences program. All data were first analyzed by Kolmogorov-Smirnov for conformity with normal distribution. were evaluated and then analyzed according to their suitability for normal distribution. For descriptive statistics, percentage across the board, arithmetic mean±standard deviation for those with normal distribution, median and minimum-maximum values for those that did not fit were used. In the analysis of the data, student t test and ANOVA test were used for those that were suitable for normal distribution, and Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal Wallis tests were used for those that were not suitable for normal distribution. Type 1 error level was taken as 0.05.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare if playing music before and during an embryo transfer can make a difference for women who are going through a frozen embryo transfer as part of a medical procedure called assisted reproduction technology (ART). The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does listening to music before and while having the embryo transfer make patients feel more satisfied and less anxious? - Does listening to music before and during the embryo transfer affect how likely it is for the woman to get pregnant? Before the embryo transfer, the participants will listen to music through earphones or speakers. During the embryo transfer, the participants will listen to music through speakers. During the embryo transfer, the comparison group will not listen to music and will receive the usual care. The aim is to see if listening to music before and during the embryo transfer can help make the procedure better for women.
In the literature, music plays an energizing, soothing, stimulating and awakening role for the newborn, and at the same time, music has the potential to wake up a lethargic and withdrawn baby and calm a crying, restless baby. In addition, it is stated that relaxing music in the early postpartum period supports breastfeeding behaviors of mother and baby. It is stated that lullabies positively affect the newborn's relaxation, falling asleep, and mother-baby communication. however, it facilitates sleep due to its monotonous, emotional and repetitive melody structure, slow tempo and relaxing effect. The sound called white noise is a humming, monotonous and constantly used sound that suppresses the disturbing sounds coming from the environment and has a calming feature. In the literature, it has been found that white noise played to infants with colic reduces crying. The aim of this study is to determine the effects of lullabies and white noise music played during breastfeeding of the newborn on newborn stress, breastfeeding success and mother's comfort. This study was planned as a randomized controlled trial with term newborns 24 hours after birth.
Objectives: Investigating the effects of listening to music and drawing on nursing students with dysmenorrhea on dysmenorrhea complaints is a new and promising area of research. However, high-level evidence on whether listening to music and drawing has an effect on dysmenorrhea complaints is insufficient. The current study addresses this research question.. Design: A three-arm randomized controlled trial was conducted in 96 nursing students with dysmenorrhea.
It is common knowledge that music has a positive impact on human well-being. It is also well-known that medical residents are frequently stressed and burnt out. With these two thoughts in mind, the investigators want to explore how participating in a musical engagement program may positively impact medical resident well-being. The investigators hope to do this by hosting four informal musical engagement sessions with medical residents, which will involve playing instruments, improvising, and reading sheet music. To study the impact that this program has on participants, investigators will ask participants to complete a survey. The investigators hope to find that participants are positively impacted by participation in the study, in terms of factors like stress reduction and minimized burnout symptoms. Hopefully, the study results may inform residency program curriculum designers in the future may incorporate music into wellness programming.
How to optimally stimulate the developing brain is still unclear. Executive functions (EF) exhibited substantially stronger far transfer effects in children who learned to play a musical instrument than in children who acquired other arts. What is crucially lacking is a large-scale, long-term genuine randomized controlled trial (RCT) in cognitive neuroscience, comparing musical instrumental training (MIP) to another art form and a control group. Collected data of this proposal will allow, using machine learning, to build a data-driven multivariate model of children's interconnected brain and EF development over the first 2 years of their academic curriculum (6-8 years), with or without music or other art training.
