Objective To investigate the effect of music therapy plus selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors （SSRIs） on emotion and bum wound healing in bum patients. Methods Moderate and severe bum inpatient.s, aged 12-60 years were selected. Emotional problems were then measured by the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression and Hamilton Rating Scale for Anxiety within three days after bum injury. Bum patients with depression and anxiety were randomly allocated into the trial group （28 patients） and the control group （27 patients）. Music therapy and SSRIs plus conventional burn care Were applied to the trial group, and conventional bum care to the control group, both for 30 days. The scores of anxiety, depression and the degree of bum wound healing were assessed. Results The differences of depression score and anxiety score before and after treatment were 13. 7 ±6.43 and 6.43 ±2.72 respectively in the trial group, and 4. 74 ±6.75 and 4.44 ±3.36 respectively in the control group. This showed both scores significantly improved compared with the control group （P 〈0. 05）. The time for burn wound healing was shortened in the treatment group （P 〈0. 05）. The anxiety score was positively correlated with bum index, and so was the depression score （P 〈 0.05 ）. Conclusions The anxiety and depression scores are positively correlated with the burn index. Music therapy plus SSrIs can ameliorate the emotional problems （ depression and anxiety）, and shorten the time for burn wound heating.
ObjectiveTo explore the effect of music therapy on quality of life in patients with gynecologic malignant tumor undergoing chemotherapy. MethodsA hundred patients diagnosed to have gynecologic malignant tumor between January and June 2013 were included in our study. They were divided into intervention group and control group with 50 patients in each. Traditional nursing was given to the patients in the control group, while patients in the intervention group accepted routine and music therapy at the same time. Quality of life questionare C30 scale was used to measure related indexes before and after the intervention. ResultsPhysical function, emotional function, cognitive function, and overall health status for patients in the intervention group changed significantly after the intervention (P<0.05). ConclusionMusic therapy can effectively improve the quality of life in patients with gynecologic malignant tumor undergoing chemotherapy.
Objective To explore the intervention effect of music therapy on children with autism spectrum disorder. Methods The China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang, Chongqing VIP, PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library were searched by computer to comprehensively collect randomized controlled trials on the intervention effect of music therapy on children with autism spectrum disorder. The search period was from the establishment of the database to December 31, 2022. RevMan 5.4 software was used for meta-analysis. Results Finally, 20 articles were included, including 913 cases in the music therapy group and 811 cases in the control group, with a total sample size of 1724 cases. The meta-analysis results showed that the overall treatment effect [standardized mean difference (SMD)=−0.95, 95% confidence interval (CI) (−1.12, −0.78)], the treatment effect of language [SMD=−0.71, 95%CI (−0.84, −0.57)], behavior [SMD=−0.65, 95%CI (−0.78, −0.52)], social interaction [SMD=−0.52, 95%CI (−0.63, −0.40)], cognition [SMD=1.37, 95%CI (1.00, 1.74)] and sensory perception [SMD=−0.89, 95%CI (−1.03, −0.74)] of the music therapy group were better than those of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion The existing data show that music therapy applied to children with autism spectrum disorder can effectively improve their language, behavior, social interaction, cognition, and sensory perception, thereby having a positive impact on the overall treatment effect of children. However, due to the limitations of the number and quality of included studies, more high-quality studies are needed to verify.
