Why the study?

This study aimed to observe the effect of music therapy on heart rate variability using poincaré plot analysis to assess cardiac autonomic nerve function in patients with generalized anxiety disorder.

Does music therapy improve heart rate variability in patients with generalized anxiety disorder?

Population

60 newly diagnosed GAD patients aged 20- 40 years and matched healthy controls

Comparison

Music therapy with Raga Bhairabi based Rabindra Sangeet vs without music therapy

Design

Prospective interventional study

Follow-up

3 months

Overview

Music therapy may improve HRV in GAD; leaves open any cardiovascular benefit or practice change.

Structured PICO

Does music therapy improve heart rate variability in patients with generalized anxiety disorder?

P
Population
60 newly diagnosed generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) patients aged 20-40 years, male and female, along with age, sex, and BMI matched healthy controls.
I
Intervention
Music therapy with Raga Bhairabi based Rabindra Sangeet for 3 months (n=30).
C
Comparator
No music therapy for 3 months (n=30).
O
Outcome
Heart rate variability (HRV) assessed by Poincaré plot analysis (SD1, SD2, SD1/SD2) at 3 months.surrogate

Music therapy may improve cardiac autonomic dysfunction in patients with generalized anxiety disorder as measured by heart rate variability.
