Use of Music Therapy in Cardio Vascular Disorder

Abstract

— The purpose of this study establish the scientific use of Bio-musicology as Complimentary and Alternate Medicine (CAM) in the treatment of Cardio Vascular Disorder (CVD). It explain why we feel cool and calm when we listen specific music. How the music therapies affect us? Is pleasant sound have the power to effect physiology of livings? This study setup a relation between sound and hemato-biochemistry, that can be used to control cardiovascular disorders through neuro-endocrine stimulation up to a limit, but still need more work to be done to say with surety that specific music target specific bio-molecules, which effect the physiology and ultimately behavior of humans. The fast pace of changing our life styles makes adjustment to it difficult. The blood, the blood vessels and the heart together form the cardiovascular system. These blood vessels are of a certain calibre, however they may constrict for a long period of time, thus causing the blood to flow through them under increased tension giving rise to an entity called 'Hypertension' - one of the major manifestations of mental stress and CVD’s. Music therapy is based on the associative and cognitive powers of the mind. Sound creates certain vibrations which are picked up and amplified by the human ear. These waves are then picked up by the sensory nerve going into the middle of the brain and redistributed throughout the neuron network to other parts of the brain to distinguish the pitch, tone, and frequency of that sound. During my study I used the sounds of acoustical environment which is the combination of natural sounds (wind, water, wildlife, vegetation) and cultural and historic sounds (battle re-enactments, tribal ceremonies). In this study conducted over human volunteers, I observed that the music have their impact over the hypertension and CVD’s by altering the levels of biochemical and haematological parameters such as significant decrease of serum total cholesterol, non-significant decrease of triglycerides, non-significant decrease of VLDL and LDL, significant increase of HDL in most cases, significant increase of adrenalin by sound A and B in human, significant decrease of cortisol in most cases. The decreases of LDL, VLDL, TG, Cortisol and increase of HDL and adrenalin are indicative of good health and the sounds which are responsible for such changes will be used to cure the patient of CVD, hypertension. On the basis of my finding, I can conclude that music therapy is helpful to control and treatment of hypertension, arteriosclerosis and other CVD’s and make us stress free healthy life.
