Listening to music can reduce pain - Music can not only give you peace and consolation during stress. A recent study found that music can even relieve physical pain experienced by a person.
Researchers at the University of Alberta found new evidence that music can change a person's acceptance of pain. this was discovered after they carried out tests on 42 children aged between three and 11 years. The children come to the hospital to get an IV.
One group of children fitted with drip while listening to music, while others without listening to music. Researchers then measured levels of the stress, the pain they feel, as well as heart rate. Researchers also measured the level of satisfaction of parents and nurses in charge of setting up the infusion.
"We found differences in these groups. Son who listen to music feel less pain when infused," said lead researcher Dr. Lisa Hartling, as reported by the Daily Mail.
Hartling explains that plays music when children undergoing painful medical treatments can be an easy and not expensive to help them. If children feel less pain, they will feel more calm and not stressed. Parents were more satisfied with the care given to their children.
Approximately 76 percent of nurses who work with children who listen to music say that the infusion process run smoothly and easily. While only 38 percent of nurses who work with children do not listen to music that claim the same thing.
