Two independent reviewers performed study selection, data extraction, and risk-of-bias assessment using RoB 2. Statistical analyses were conducted in STATA 17, with evidence certainty graded using Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation. The protocol followed Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines and was prospectively registered in PROSPERO. <b><i>Results:</i></b> The meta-analysis included 14 RCTs comprising 1,477 participants. Five separate meta-analyses were conducted to compare the efficacy of music therapy versus standard care. Moderate-quality evidence from randomized trials demonstrated significant reductions associated with music therapy in systolic blood pressure (mean difference [MD] <i>= -</i>10.55 mmHg, 95% confidence interval [CI]: -13.86 to -7.24, <i>p</i> < 0.05), diastolic blood pressure (MD <i>= -</i>8.14 mmHg, 95% CI: -10.59 to -5.58, <i>p</i> < 0.05), sleep quality in patients with hypertension (MD <i>= -</i>1.95 points, 95% CI: -2.41 to -1.49, <i>p</i> < 0.05), and depression (MD <i>= -</i>7.80 points, 95% CI: -9.97 to -5.64, <i>p</i> < 0.001).
