背景：已有研究表明，音乐疗法对高血压和焦虑有良好的疗效。因此，我们着手调查土耳其古典音乐的影响。目的：调查土耳其古典音乐是否对老年患者的血压和焦虑水平有积极影响。设计、设置和受试者：这是一项随机对照试验，对生活在土耳其阿达纳当地老年之家的60名高血压患者进行。方法：在完成每例患者的社会人口统计表后，应用汉密尔顿焦虑量表。此后，受试者被随机分为两个大小相等的组，（音乐治疗组）或休息一段时间结果测量：主要和次要结果测量分别为血压和汉密尔顿焦虑量表评分。音乐治疗组收缩压平均下降13.00 mmHg，对照组平均下降6.50 mmHg。基线校正的治疗组间差异无统计学显著性（95% CI 6.80-9.36）。音乐治疗组和对照组的舒张压平均下降10 mmHg。治疗组间差异无统计学显著性（Mann-Whitney U检验，P=0.839）。HAMA-A的平均减少值在音乐治疗组为1.63，在对照组为0.77。基线校正后治疗组间差异无统计学意义（95%CI 0.82-1.92）。结论：土耳其古典音乐和单独休息对高血压患者血压均有积极影响。(C)2013爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
Background: Existing studies suggest that music therapy can have favorable effects on hypertension and anxiety. We therefore set out to investigate the effect of Turkish classical music.Objectives: To investigate whether Turkish classical music has positive effects on blood pressures and anxiety levels in elderly patients.Design, setting and subjects: This was a randomized controlled trial performed on 60 hypertensive patients living in a local elderly home in Adana, Turkey.Methods: Following the completion of a socio-demographic form for each patient, Hamilton anxiety scale was applied. Thereafter, the subjects were randomly divided into two equal-size groups and were allowed to either listen to Turkish classical music (music therapy group) or have a resting period (control group) for 25 min.Outcome measures: The primary and secondary outcome measures were blood pressure and Hamilton anxiety scale scores, respectively.Results: The mean reduction in systolic blood pressure was 13.00 mmHg in the music therapy group and 6.50 mmHg in the control group. The baseline adjusted between treatment group difference was not statistically significant (95% CI 6.80-9.36). The median reductions in diastolic blood pressures were 10 mmHg both in the music therapy and control groups. The between treatment group difference was not statistically significant (Mann-Whitney U test, P=0.839). The mean reduction in HAMA-A was 1.63 in the music therapy group and 0.77 in the control group. The baseline adjusted between treatment group difference was not statistically significant (95% CI 0.82-1.92).Conclusion: The study demonstrated that both Turkish classical music and resting alone have positive effects on blood pressure in patients with hypertension.
