Effect of Music Therapy Intervention on Diabetes
Abstract: Diabetes is a metabolic disorder characterised by elevated blood sugar levels. Treatment includes oral medications and injections, diet changes, regular exercise, lifestyle changes and weight management. Another booming method these days is alternative therapy, such as music therapy. The purpose of music therapy in this study was to change negative attitudes in subjects and bring about positive changes. Music therapy can also help build positive attitudes, reduce stress, and change moods. It also helps regulate blood flow, promote an effective metabolism, and control blood sugar levels. Divided the human subjects into control and music therapy groups. The subjects of this study was given a link consisting of a collection of eight non-lyrical Indian classical instruments. The collection was 60-80 beats per minute, which is known to have a relaxing effect. The subjects got supervised daily, and every 15 days they were called for compliance for 3 months. At the end of 3 months, all outcome measures were repeated. In the present study, all possible factors were taken into account. Music group subjects listened to their selected music through headphones via a portable audio player for approximately 30 to 45 minutes in two sessions (morning and evening) on each day. From the results, it was observed that group wise, there was a significant positive difference in all the mean values of the biochemical parameters. There was a statistically significant (p≤0.00 p≤0.05) decrease in the means of FBG, PPBG, and HbAlC in the experimental groups after intervention when compared to the control group. Music therapy boosts mood overall, relieves stress, regulates blood circulation to help with glucose absorption, stabilises blood pressure, and promotes efficient digestion and metabolism to help the pancreas produce more insulin. Positive feelings are known to take the place of negative emotions such as fear, anger, depression, hate, jealousy, and hopelessness when using this technique. Music therapy is very effective because it also fosters a positive outlook on life. Music therapy helps manage diabetes by maintaining blood sugar levels by reducing stress and negative emotions, which have been linked to the development of diabetes.
