In recent years, the topic of postpartum depression has become more and more relevant, but despite this, research on the effectiveness of music therapy and its possibilities in reducing postpartum depression is limited, but in Latvia this type of research in music therapy has not been conducted, so this study could be useful to other students of music therapy and other fields. The results of the study could be useful to GPs (family doctor) and gynecologists to prescribe the most appropriate method of treatment for the patient. The aim of the article is to reflect the progress and results of a study that explored and reviewed the possibilities of music therapy for the reduction of postpartum depression. The study included 40 women with postpartum depression - 20 in the study and 20 in the control group. The study group members participated in twelve music therapy sessions.

Background: Music therapy began in the United States after World War II when community musicians went to veterans’ hospitals to provide live music to those experiencing post-war trauma. Music therapy programs continue to utilize community musicians who provide live music to patients in treatment centers to supplement formal music therapy sessions by credentialed professionals. Little evidence has been gathered regarding the potential ability of these live music performances to decrease the anxiety levels of oncology patients during chemotherapy treatments. Purpose: To determine if listening to live music performed by community musicians decreases oncology patient anxiety levels during chemotherapy treatments in an outpatient infusion center. Method: This quasi-experimental study involved an experimental group who listened to live music by community musicians and a control group who did not listen to live music during a single chemotherapy treatment for 30 minutes. Pre- and post-test measures of blood pressure, pulse, respiration per minute, and responses to the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (ie, common measures of anxiety) were collected by a registered nurse on all participants. The sample included 60 participants (30 control and 30 experimental). Demographic information for the participants was: (1) 60% were male and 40% were female; (2) 73% were Caucasian and 27% were African American; (3) the mean age was 62 years; and (4) 100% had a cancer diagnosis. Results: Independent sample t-test was conducted to determine if there were differences in the amount of change for dependent variables. Significance was set at P<.05. Results revealed a significantly higher score difference in the experimental group when compared to the control group for pulse, respiration per minute, and systolic blood pressure (Table 1). Conclusion: Listening to live music by community musicians can decrease oncology patient anxiety levels during chemotherapy treatments as evidenced by significant decreases in pulse, respiration per minute, and systolic blood pressure. Additional studies may examine if greater decreases in anxiety levels are achieved by the implementation of formal music therapy sessions by credentialed professionals.

Objective: To study the effect of Music therapy on various clinical and biochemical parameters of Metabolic Syndrome. Methods: This cross sectional study was carried out on 100 patients of metabolic syndrome selected randomly. These patients were divided into two equal groups after age, sex adjustment. In control group (group I) 50 patients underwent the conventional treatment. 50 patients in study group were treated with supervised music protocol along with conventional treatment. The Body Mass Index, ;Waist-Hip ratio, Blood pressure, Fasting blood sugar were monitored weekly while HbA1c and lipid profile were determined at the baseline and after three months of exposure to music therapy. Statistical analysis was performed by employing student t- test. Results: In the study group there was a significant decrease in BMI (27.18±5.02 to 25.44±3.49 kg/m2, p<0.05), waist hip ratio (0.95±0.05 to 0.93±0.05 cm, p<0.05), Fasting blood sugar (196.00±47.80mg/ dl to152.00±16.19mg/dl , p<0.001), HbA1c (8.41±1.31% to 7.08±0.78 % p<0.001), Systolic Blood Pressure (151.00±12.10 to 136±9.04 mmHg p<0.001), Diastolic Blood Pressure (94±4.80 to 86.44±3.16 mmHg, p<0.01), Mean serum cholesterol (257.80±18.92 to 229.12±17.82mg/dl, p<0.001) and triglycerides (180.86±14.04 to 136.50±8.92mg/dl, p<0.001), LDL (167.97±14.40 to 140.20±15.41mg/dl, p<0.001), and VLDL (33.60±2.88 to 28.04±3.08mg/dl, p<0.001) and increase in HDL (33.32±3.38 to 39.71±3.41mg/dl, p<0.001), when compared with those of control group not receiving the music therapy along with the conventional treatment. Conclusion: The promising outcomes of Music therapy showed that it may be considered as a useful adjunct to conventional treatment in management of the metabolic syndrome. This study advocates music therapy to establish it from a general well being concepts to a neuroscience guided model. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/jbsp.v6i2.9760 JBSP 2011 6(2): 108-115

Objective: This study aimed to determine the benefits and feasibility of using group music therapy based on emotion-regulation skills to treat male inpatients with alcohol dependence (AD).Methods: We recruited male inpatients with alcohol dependence and randomly assigned those eligible for enrollment to either the study group or the control group. The study group received group music therapy along with treatment-as-usual (TAU), while the control group received only treatment-as-usual. Primary outcomes, including anxiety levels, sleep quality, and alcohol craving, were assessed at baseline and after 2 weeks of treatment. Secondary outcomes included feasibility measures such as dropout rates. We evaluated the acceptability of group music therapy based on semi-structured interviews and feedback from patients and therapists.Results: The average attendance rate of the study group patients who underwent group music therapy was 70.77%, and the drop-out rate was 7.69%. Based on intention-to-treat analysis, we found no differences in baseline assessments (p &gt; 0.05). Assessment after 2 weeks of treatment showed that study group patients were less anxious, slept better, and had reduced alcohol cravings than control group patients. However, these differences were not statistically significant. Participants reported that group music therapy made them feel more relaxed and improved their mood.Conclusion: Group music therapy based on emotion-regulation skills is feasible with potential for efficacy and can be used to treat men with alcohol dependence in a closed inpatient environment. Further long-term research is required to gain a better understanding of the efficacy of using group music therapy to treat alcohol dependence.

Our purpose in this intervention was to promote prosociality and to reduce the aggressiveness risk between primary and preschool students by implementing music therapy sessions. A quasi experimental study was adopted, considering pre-test and pos-test, as part of a model program of early prevention of aggressiveness at a secondary level focused on a specific group of children. Eighteen subjects between 5 and 9 years old were divided into three groups. The first group received the whole music therapy intervention (30 sessions), the second group received an incomplete music therapy treatment (15 sessions) and the third group or control group didnt get any intervention. Results showed that music therapy had significant effects on direct aggressiveness in the experimental groups one and two, whereas it didnt have any important result on indirect aggressiveness for the same groups. In reference to prosociality, music therapy intervention only affected the second group. In this specific case we concluded that music therapy represents an efficient secondary prevention strategy to reduce the direct aggressiveness risk.

Purpose: To investigate the influence of music therapy on the reduction of fatigue in women with breast or gynecological malignant neoplasia during radiotherapy, since it is one of the most frequent side effects of this type of treatment, and may interfere with self-esteem, social activities, and quality of life. Experimental Design: Randomized controlled trial (control group [CG] and music therapy group [MTG]) to assess fatigue, quality of life, and symptoms of depression in women undergoing radiotherapy using the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy: Fatigue (FACT-F) version 4, Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy–General (FACT-G) version 4, and Beck Depression Inventory in 3 separate times, namely, during the first week of radiotherapy, on the week of the intermediary phase, and during the last week of radiotherapy. Individual 30- to 40-minute sessions of music therapy with the presence of a trained music therapist were offered to participants. Results: In this study, 164 women were randomized and 116 (63 CG and 53 MTG) were included in the analyses, with mean age of 52.90 years (CG) and 51.85 years (MTG). Participants in the MTG had an average of 10 music therapy sessions, totaling 509 sessions throughout the study. FACT-F results were significant regarding Trial Outcome Index ( P = .011), FACT-G ( P = .005), and FACT-F ( P = .001) for the MTG compared with the CG. Conclusions: Individual music therapy sessions may be effective to reduce fatigue related to cancer and symptoms of depression, as well as to improve quality of life for women with breast or gynecological cancer undergoing radiotherapy. Further well-designed research studies are needed to adequately determine the effects of music therapy on fatigue.

Purpose: The objective of this study is to observe the efficacy of orofacial myofunctional therapy in children who breathe through their mouths “mouth breathers” using a clinical assessment and surface electromyography. Method: 30 nasal breath (control group) and 30 mouth breathers (study group) were evaluated initially, and the study group was re-evaluated after 12 sessions of orofacial myofunctional therapy. Assessments involved the MBGR protocol and surface electromyography. Results: The control group had significantly better scores on all nasal breathing tests compared to mouth breathers both before and after therapy. However, mouth breathers demonstrated statistically significant improvements over time with therapy. Conclusion: After twelve orofacial myology therapy sessions, the mouth breathers improved but not to normal levels. Inadequate muscular strength remained for the required tasks suggesting that additional therapeutic intervention is needed or that therapeutic success is inhibited by a vertical craniofacial growth pattern.

Abstract Background The National Committee on Quality Assurance’s Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set on Comprehensive Diabetes Care requires patients with diabetes obtain a hemoglobin A1c (Hb A1c) and urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) test every year. To improve these measures, managed care organizations (MCOs) rely on claim and prescription data to identify members for care management. TriCore Reference Laboratories collaborated with Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Mexico (BCBSNM) to determine if laboratory information would augment BCBSNM’s diabetes care management services. Method In January 2018, BCBSNM provided its Medicaid enrollment file to TriCore for identifying members and determining their diabetes status by evaluating their recent Hb A1c results. Of the 6,138 members with diabetes, a random sample of 600 was extracted, and half were provided to BCBSNM to perform care management from January 18 to May 1, 2018. Completion of Hb A1c and ACR were measured. Results Significantly more (P = 0.03) study group members (25%) than control group members (18%) received an Hb A1c test. The study group (14%) also received more ACR tests than the control group (9%; P = 0.07). We then calculated the monetary penalty to which New Mexico Medicaid MCOs are subject, leading to the identification of additional value ($3,693,000) that clinical laboratories provide beyond the cost per test. Conclusion Clinical laboratories play a critical role in healthcare, and this article demonstrates an approach for laboratories to collaborate with MCOs in their care management efforts. In addition, we calculate the value of this novel collaboration, which may play an integral role in laboratories’ pursuit of value-based care.

Background. Pain after breast cancer surgery leads to long term disability. Music therapy is non-invasive, inexpensive supplementary therapy way, which helps to improve emotional and psychological condition, to reduce stress, anxiety and pain. Nevertheless, there is a lot of knowledge about the benefts of music therapy, and it is a lack of scientifc research, which could advocate for music therapy beneft after breast cancer surgery. Research aim. To evaluate music therapy effect on women pain after breast cancer surgery. Research tasks. To assess the pain of women using a visual analogue scale (VAS) before and after the application of music therapy in the study and control groups. Methods. An analysis of scientifc / medical literature was made. Quantitative research method was selected. Criteria for involvement into scientifc research were women after breast cancer surgery. In research group music therapy was applied. It consisted of 25 patients with an average age of 52.23 ± 9, 04 years. A control group consisted of 25 patients with an average age of 56.17 ± 7.84 years. Music therapy was not applied in control group. The research instrument was the VAS. The data were collected before the application of music therapy and after. Music therapy sessions were used after breast cancer surgery the whole period of rehabilitation. Sessions were held in a recreation room 6 times a week, session duration of 30 – minute. The Baroque and the New Age music were used in music therapy sessions. Listening to music, women were asked to close their eyes, relax and breathe deeply. To ensure the most accurate results of the study participants were asked to avoid listening additional music. Results. Before using music therapy the difference of pain intensity data (measured by VAS) was not statistically signifcant in the research and control groups. After music therapy the study group showed a statistically signifcant decrease in pain intensity: before music therapy pain intensity score of 6.54 ± 1.45, after music therapy – 3 ± 0.98 points (p < 0.001); control group pain intensity also decreased: before music therapy 5.58 ± 1.56 points, after music therapy 2.88 ± 1.91 points. Conclusion. After breast cancer surgery, and after the completed rehabilitation, pain decreased in the research group, where music therapy was applied (p < 0.001); in the control group, where music therapy was not applied, pain also decreased. (p < 0.05). Difference between the change of pain in study group and in control group was not statistically signifcant. Pain change in the study group was not signifcantly higher than the control group.Keywords: music therapy, pain, breast cancer.

Our study, completed in 1999, linking a mother-baby unit with Maternal and Child Health Nurses (MCHNs) with education, liaison and prioritised tertiary assessment and admission is presented, and issues of service delivery and satisfaction are highlighted. Two hundred and forty three women were recruited antenatally and followed to up to nine months postpartum, 133 forming the study group and 110 the control. MCHNs in the study group were offered an intensive education package, with ongoing six weekly liaison meetings. The intervention was welcomed and feedback positive. Women in the study and control group did not differ in their levels of depression throughout the study. Differences, however, in adjustment to motherhood emerged between women in well-supported affluent areas and those in under-resourced lower socioeconomic areas. MCHNs were seen by women in all areas as the key people to turn to. Those in the lower socioeconomic areas reported greater difficulties in providing a service, and women in these areas were less likely to access services external to their region. Implications for the development of further services and the linking of these supports are discussed.

Background and aims: Music therapy is a simple and inexpensive method for the treatment of some psychiatric disorders. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of traditional music on the mental state of hospitalized chronic schizophrenia patients. Methods: In this clinical trial, 30 schizophrenia patients in the intervention group received routine treatment and attended music therapy sessions and 30 patients in the control group received routine treatment alone. Group music therapy sessions with traditional music were conducted 5 times a week for 2 months. Demographic questionnaire and Andreasen’s positive and negative symptoms questionnaires were completed at baseline and after the completion of music therapy sessions. Data analysis was conducted in SPSS version 16.0 using independent and paired t tests. Results: The mean scores of delusion (P=0.001) and bizarre behavior (P=0.036) and the total score of the SAPS (P=0.001) significantly decreased after intervention in the music therapy group. However, in the control group, the differences in the total and individual domain scores of the SAPS were not significant (P>0.05). There was no significant difference between the control and music therapy groups in the total and individual domain scores of the Scale for the Assessment of Negative Symptoms (SANS) before and after the intervention (P>0.05). Additionally, before and after the study, the mean score of avolition in the music therapy group was significantly lower compared to the control group (P=0.03). The mean score of alogia in the music therapy group was significantly lower compared to the control group (P=0.01). Conclusion: Music therapy is effective in improving most of the positive symptoms of schizophrenia and some of its negative aspects, and therefore can be used as a complementary therapy along with drug therapy.
