Effect of music intervention on anxiety in critically ill patients, a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
Music therapy has been explored as a non-pharmacological intervention for anxiety in critically ill patients, but its effectiveness remains unclear. This meta-analysis synthesized evidence from five randomized controlled trials (RCTs) involving 325 participants. A comprehensive literature search across PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases ensured the inclusion of high-quality studies published between 2010 and 2025. Music therapy sessions ranged from 15 to 30 min. Anxiety was assessed using validated measures, and data were analyzed with a random-effects model to calculate the mean difference (MD) in anxiety scores with 95 % confidence intervals (CI). Heterogeneity was evaluated using the I2 statistic, and sensitivity analyses were conducted to address potential bias.
The pooled analysis found an MD of −1.11 (95 % CI: −12.97 to 10.75, p = 0.85; I2 = 99 %), showing no significant anxiety reduction. Heterogeneity was substantial. A sensitivity analysis, excluding two influential studies, reduced heterogeneity (I2 = 30 %) but still showed no significant effect (MD = 0.69, 95 % CI: −2.15 to 3.53, p = 0.63). A funnel plot suggested possible publication bias, but the limited number of studies hindered formal assessment.
Overall, current evidence does not support music therapy as an effective stand-alone intervention for anxiety reduction in critically ill patients. Further research with standardized protocols and larger sample sizes is necessary to clarify its role in critical care settings.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Critical Care, the official publication of the World Federation of Societies of Intensive and Critical Care Medicine (WFSICCM), is a leading international, peer-reviewed journal providing original research, review articles, tutorials, and invited articles for physicians and allied health professionals involved in treating the critically ill. The Journal aims to improve patient care by furthering understanding of health systems research and its integration into clinical practice.
The Journal will include articles which discuss:
All aspects of health services research in critical care
System based practice in anesthesiology, perioperative and critical care medicine
The interface between anesthesiology, critical care medicine and pain
Integrating intraoperative management in preparation for postoperative critical care management and recovery
Optimizing patient management, i.e., exploring the interface between evidence-based principles or clinical insight into management and care of complex patients
The team approach in the OR and ICU
System-based research
Medical ethics
Technology in medicine
Seminars discussing current, state of the art, and sometimes controversial topics in anesthesiology, critical care medicine, and professional education
Residency Education.
