To the best of our knowledge, research works on the effect of passive listening to different melodic scales of Indian music on Electroencephalogram (EEG) power spectrum is rare to find. In this randomized control trial, 137 healthy subjects were randomly divided into 4 groups (A to D, n~32 in each group), of which A (raga Ahir Bhairav), B (raga Kaunsi Kanada), C (raga Bhimpalas) received music intervention while group D was the control arm. Nineteen channel scalp EEG was recorded for 30 minutes [10 min for each condition, before (BI), during (DI) and after intervention (AI)] and conducted power spectral analysis of waveforms in standard frequency bands. Two-way ANOVA was performed across conditions and groups, to determine the scalp regions showing significant changes, for each frequency band separately. Across conditions, significant change in BI alpha and AI theta, beta1, beta2 bands, while between groups, group B had significant change in alpha and group C in beta1 power, mostly involving frontal regions was seen. Mid Frontal PSA exhibited an increased theta power in group C and D (AI), while alpha and beta1 power increased in group B and C (in group C, beta2 increased significantly). Temporal trend analysis (2-minute segments), showed that there was a significant fall in frontal alpha DI in group B; while in A, C and D groups, the drop seen BI reduced DI and AI. Similarly, the beta1 drop reduced DI and AI in group C and D, while it increased in group B (DI) and group A (AI). Music caused relaxation effect with scales B and C causing maximal effect. In line with existing literature, it may be concluded that listening to these melodic scales was associated with mind wandering effect and probable visual imagery/recall.","PeriodicalId":74233,"journal":{"name":"Music and medicine","volume":"001 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89726433","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One in three adults do not get the recommended amount of sleep1, creating myriad issues, from physical illness to mental and cognitive disorders, poor work attendance, and disruptions in daily life.2 Traumatic experiences that occur early in life can have life long health implications, including sleep disorders and insufficient sleep.3 With the advent of COVID-19, people in the United States and across the world were forced to quarantine themselves, thereby disturbing previously established norms of behavior, daily engagement with others, and sleeping habits. Being able to rejuvenate the physical, emotional, and mental state through sleep became more important yet also more difficult amidst the stresses of the pandemic.4Healthcare professionals are seeking alternate patient treatment forms regarding healthy sleeping patterns. Music is one solution to this ongoing problem because it is easily accessible, can be personalized to individual tastes, is cost effective, cost avoidant, and lacking in serious side effects. The focus of this article is to explain how music impacts sleep, sleep disorders, and to offer suggestions to optimize sleeping patterns through the conscientious application of music and music therapy.

Although he was one of the most brilliant composers of all time, his life was shaped by many illnesses. Many know that Beethoven was hard of hearing and later deaf and that he could not longer hear his own works. However, there are many diseases that were little and or not known and that still shaped his life significantly.Methods: This article reports the medical history of this artist, based on authoritative scientific sources.Results: Even when he was young, Beethoven fell ill with smallpox, which gave his face a typical appearance. Since 1804/1805 he had been unable to see properly and was wearing glasses. The first hearing disorders appeared in 1796, treatment began in 1800. From 1814, hearing loss worsened significantly. The cause of hearing disorders is still unclear. From the age of 25, there was colic, diarrhea and fever, probably caused by a chronic pancreatitis. It is certain that Beethoven suffered from hepatitis and cirrhosis of the liver, certainly significantly influenced by alcohol consumption. Liver cirrhosis and esophageal varices were the consequences, and certainly also psychological changes to his difficult personality. In 1825, there was a cough of blood, nosebleeds and ascites and until 1827, 30-40 l of ascites were punctured.. On March 26, 1827, Beethoven died in the liver coma.Conclusions: Beethoven was a brilliant musician and composer who had many illnesses in his life. Above all, his hearing impairment significantly influenced his life. He had also frequent gastroenterological diseases, especially pancreatitis, hepatitis and live cirrhosis. Alcohol certainly played an important role in his life and influenced many illnesses.","PeriodicalId":74233,"journal":{"name":"Music and medicine","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80717281","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present investigation sought to examine the impact of a patient controlled music listening intervention by mobile application (Music-Care) on sedative consumption as primary endpoint, and on pain, anxiety and satisfaction levels. This is a prospective non-randomized controlled clinical study. Patients scheduled to undergo coronary angioplasty under local anesthesia and sedation were recruited. A 76 patients were included, 54 were assigned under the music arm and 22 under the control arm. Medication intake during the procedure has been reported as well as anxiety as measured by numeric rating score and APAIS, pain and satisfaction scores. Music group was administered \"U\" sequence during the procedure. Patients under music took significantly less midazolam medication (median 1 vs 3 mg in control, p<0.01). Additionally, there was a significant difference (p<0.01) on anxiety (Mmusic = 2.9, Mcontrol = 4.2, p <0.01) but not in pain score. Almost all of the patients from the music group (98%) were satisfied (score ≥ 4) vs 91% in control group.
