Pain after surgery is an evitable event but if remain untreated, it give rise to so many other complication those in total deteriorates patients quality of life. 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 can be used along with traditional pharmacological agents to reduce pain and dose of these agents. This study says that music played during surgery helps in reducing postoperative stress 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. Blood sugar was measured thrice i.e. preoperatively, immediately postoperatively and two hours later in postoperative period as an indicator of stress response. Play of soothing music during perioperative period helps in stabilizing stress occurring due to surgery and anaesthesia. Mean of blood sugar was significantly low (p<0.05) in group C and group B in comparison of group A suggesting less stress in patients exposed to music. Exposure of music during perioperative period helps in reducing postoperative stress in patients of ceaserean section under spinal anaesthesia.
