Absolute Event Rate: 4.2% vs 7.2%
p-value: p=0.013
A 30-minute session of music therapy significantly reduces patient-reported pain, anxiety, and depression immediately following coronary artery bypass grafting compared to rest or conventional care.
Dai et al. (2020) conducted an observational in Postoperative pain, anxiety, and depression after coronary artery bypass grafting (n=99). Music therapy vs. Rest without music therapy or conventional treatment was evaluated on Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) score for pain after 30 minutes (p=0.013). Music therapy significantly reduced pain (NRS 4.2 vs 7.2), anxiety, and depression scores compared to rest without music in patients after coronary artery bypass grafting.
