Summary
This literature review examined the effect of music on pain and anxiety in preoperative patients and burn victims as well as older people with osteoarthritis. Studies that explored the effect of music intervention generally allowed subjects to listen to self-selected music during the trial period. On the other hand, studies that examined the effect of music therapy hired music therapists who assisted patients in pain management. Because of the small sample sizes in several studies, the findings are often contradictory. This review demonstrates that the patients who listened to music before surgery report lower levels of state anxiety.
