Perioperative pain in patient undergoing abdominal surgeries is difficult to treat. All the techniques for multimodal analgesia has some or the other side effects. Music could be an effective additive for alleviation of pain without side effects. Our hypothesis is that music therapy reduces preoperative and postoperative stress, anxiety and decreases perioperative and postoperative pain. 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 and blood sugar level was measured preoperatively, immediate postoperatively and two hours after the surgery. Play of soothing music during perioperative period helps in stabilizing all hemodynamic parameters. Mean duration of rescue analgesia in group A was 15.13±11.51 that was significantly low (p<0.01) in comparison to group B, 128.46±87.77 and group c, 186.13±74.68. Music helps in reducing the stress of surgery as seen from the better stabilization of blood sugar level in the music group. Exposure of music during perioperative period helps in stabilizing all haemodynamic parameters (HR, SBP, DBP and MAP) during laproscopic cholecystectomy under general anaesthesia.
