Music intervention reduces hemodynamic fluctuations and anxiety in women.

Preoperative music significantly decreased hemodynamic instability and anxiety among women undergoing elective non-cardiac surgery. In a study involving 164 participants, those in the music intervention group exhibited lower mean arterial pressure fluctuations and heart rate instability compared to the control group. Furthermore, the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory scores post-intervention indicated a substantial reduction in anxiety levels, with a between-group difference of 8.01, highlighting the efficacy of music in enhancing perioperative experiences.
