Pain after surgery is extremely annoying and unbearable for the patient. All the techniques for multimodal analgesia have some or other side effects and thus they have to be used very cautiously in postoperative ceaserean section patient as they can adversely affect health of the baby also. Music could be an effective additive for alleviation of pain without side effects. Our hypothesis is that music therapy helps in maintaining hemodynamic stability and reduces postoperative pain in patients undergoing ceaserean section. This randomized control study was conducted on 90 patients of ASA grade 1 and 2 after taking ethics committee approval. Group A (n=30) patients heard routine operation theatre sound. Group B (n=30) patients heard relaxing music intraoperatively only. Group C (n=30) patients heard relaxing music both intraoperatively and postoperatively till two hours. Diastolic, systolic and mean blood pressure, heart rate were measured throughout the procedure till two hours after the procedure. Time of rescue analgesia was recorded postoperatively. Play of soothing music during perioperative period helps in stabilizing all hemodynamic parameters (p<0.05). Mean duration of rescue analgesia in group A was 41.13±38.51 that was significantly low (p<0.05) in comparison to group B 135.46±62.77, and group c 182.13±75.68. Exposure of music during perioperative period helps in stabilizing all haemodynamic parameters (HR, SBP, DBP and MAP) and reduces postoperative pain in patients of ceaserean section under spinal anaesthesia.
