Music for anxiety reduction in patients undergoing cardiac catheterization: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28779919/)
- Key Words
- Cardiac Catheterization – is a procedure used to diagnose and treat certain cardiovascular conditions. During cardiac catheterization, a long thin tube called a catheter is inserted in an artery or vein in your groin, neck, or arm and threaded through your blood vessels to your heart. (Google)
- Different methods and tests were done in order to see whether music has an impact on an increase/decrease in levels of anxiety
- Tests were conducted from a randomized group of patients who were undergoing cardiac catheterization
- The conclusion that they agreed upon was that further research was needed before clinical trials can be made due to a lack of data on the clinical implications of using music on patients
Robotic approach to the reduction of dental anxiety in children https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32730719/
- Key Words
- Techno-psychological distraction techniques
- Two hundred children who were having their first visits to the dental clinic were placed into two equal groups
- One group was the control while the other had robotic assistance (named RG group)
- Conclusions were made after the pulse rates of each child were recorded. Which came out that children from the RG had a significantly lower pulse rate compared to the control group.
- The purpose of this study was to test the use of the multisensory environment teaching approach with music activities on emotions and other areas of development for a child with multiple disabilities.
- The findings revealed positive results when using music activities, on increasing positive emotions for the participant in the multisensory environment.
