Listening to music to accelerate postoperative recovery (Tediesel Medicine)

JAKARTA - Listening to music seems to have many benefits, especially in the healing process. Music is considered to help reduce pain and accelerate healing in the body, especially in the postoperative recovery period.

According to the Hindustan Times report, from a list of 3,736 studies, the researchers narrowed it to 35 research papers to study the musical influence of the patient's outcomes, such as pain, anxiety, use of opioids, and heart rate measurements.

Shehzaib Raees, one of the new research writers, said in an interview with Independent that despite the patient's pain, their perception of pain eased as they listened to music.

Listening to music with headphones or via loudspeakers helps patients after surgery and shows significant signs of positive healing.

It was also found that the heart rate decreased 4.5 times per minute in patients compared to those who did not listen to music. Patients who listen to music after surgery also consume half of the amount of morphine consumed by patients who do not listen to music.

Eldo Frezza of the Faculty of Medicine, University of California Northstate, told the Independent that after surgery, patients undergo a transition from a conscious stage to a normal return stage. Music helps facilitate this transition and reduce stress.

Music is also a more passive experience compared to meditation and is more suitable for many people.
