Application of music therapy in ablation of uterine adenomyosis with high intensity focused ultrasound

Objective:To investigate the effects of music therapy on uterine adenomyosis patients accepting high intensity focused ultrasound(HIFU)ablation.Methods:A total of 90 adenomyosis patients accepting HIFU ablation were randomly divided into the music therapy group and the control group.Music therapy group continued to listen to music from 1 hour before the ablation to the the end of the ablation.The control group was according to the conventional methods for HIFU ablation.Two groups were compared by patients' preoperative anxiety levels,intra-operative blood pressure and heart rate,post-operative pain and analgesic doses.Results:The preoperative anxiety degree,the intra-operative blood pressure and heart rate,the post-operative pain scores and analgesic doses in the music therapy group were significantly better than those in the control group.Conclusion:Music therapy in HIFU ablation can improve stress state of patients.It can stabilize intraoperative physiological indexes of patients,reduce their anxiety degree,reduce post-operative pain and analgesic drug doses as well,and it's good for the smooth progress of HIFU ablation.
