Book The Effect of Music Listening on Cold Pressor Pain Perception  Tolerance  and Attention

Download or read book The Effect of Music Listening on Cold Pressor Pain Perception Tolerance and Attention written by Marlen I. Rodriguez-Wolfe and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The effect of participant-selected music listening on pain perception, pain tolerance, and attention to pain was evaluated during a cold-pressor pain protocol. Participants (N=50) underwent two, ice-water hand immersions in a music condition and a silence condition. Participants were asked to engage in active music listening of their choice during the cold-pressor music condition. The researcher collected a pain tolerance hand-immersion time, while participants self-reported on pain perception and attention to pain. Results showed that participants reported significantly less pain perception and attention to pain, and greater pain tolerance time under the music condition than in the silence condition. The positive results are attributed to the ability of participant-selected music to effectively engage attention. The participant-selected music choices were analyzed for musical attributes that served as possible predictors for influencing attention to pain. Of the five attributes analyzed including activation, tempo, mood, lyrics, and preference, only preference yielded significant results in diminishing attention to pain. Conclusions are made as to the influence of music on attention, pain tolerance, and pain perception, and support is given for preferred music as an effective means to engage attention for pain management.

Book The Effects of Preferred Music  Nonpreferred Music  and Silence on Anxiety  Relaxation  and Muscle Tension

Download or read book The Effects of Preferred Music Nonpreferred Music and Silence on Anxiety Relaxation and Muscle Tension written by Bonnie Faye Chan and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of preferred music, nonpreferred music, and silence on measures of state anxiety, relaxation, and muscle tension. Nine subjects were selected from a pool of 90 college students after passing criteria for trait anxiety and musical experience. Each of the nine subjects was tested individually for a total of three testing sessions, using one condition (preferred music, nonpreferred music, or silence) per session. Pretests-posttests of state anxiety and relaxation were administered during each condition, and muscle tension was measured using an electromyogram. Results were calculated with a repeated measures analysis of variance and Pearson product-moment correlations. A main effect was discovered between subjects in the measure of state anxiety, as well as a difference between conditions on the measure of relaxation. It was found also that state anxiety and relaxation were correlated significantly under silence. State anxiety and EMG muscle tension were related inversely under preferred music, while other EMG correlations were associated with low correlation coefficients. Lastly, a trend appeared for preferred music to induce lesser anxiety and greater relaxation than nonpreferred music.

Book The Effects of Patient Preferred Recorded Music Versus Nonmusic on the Progress of Physical Rehabilitation in Sports Medicine

Download or read book The Effects of Patient Preferred Recorded Music Versus Nonmusic on the Progress of Physical Rehabilitation in Sports Medicine written by Sarah Elizabeth Piercy and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of preferred recorded music on heart rate, perceived pain and total exercise capacity during regular physical therapy exercises prescribed for sports related injuries. Subjects included 16 male and 10 female athletes who were referred by an orthopedic surgeon for Physical Therapy at the Tallahassee Orthopedic Sports Physical Therapy Clinic. Participants were randomly assigned into two groups, (a) physical therapy with music, and (b) physical therapy without music. A two-sample, independent method of measurement was used. Pre-tests were completed on visit one and post-tests completed on visit four. Music was not used with any subject on visit one. Baseline measurements of each variable were recorded and subjects were randomly assigned to either the music group or the control group. The control group exercised for three sessions without music. The experimental group exercised for three sessions with music. The investigator returned on the fourth visit to record final measurements of heart rate, pain perception and total exercise capacity. Differences in post-test data between groups were then compared using the Mann-Whitney U Test. Results indicated no significant differences between groups; however, mean scores for post-test data show that subjects in the music group experienced similar heart rate averages, less pain and a greater increase in total capacity of exercise. Subject's verbal feedback indicated that music during exercise increased exercise enjoyment. Only two out of the 26 participants stated that music was not part of their regular exercise routine.

Book Dark Side of the Tune  Popular Music and Violence

Download or read book Dark Side of the Tune Popular Music and Violence written by Professor Bruce Johnson and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2013-01-28 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written against the academically dominant but simplistic romanticization of popular music as a positive force, this book focuses on the 'dark side' of the subject. It is a pioneering examination of the ways in which popular music has been deployed in association with violence, ranging from what appears to be an incidental relationship, to one in which music is explicitly applied as an instrument of violence. A preliminary overview of the physiological and cognitive foundations of sounding/hearing which are distinctive within the sensorium, discloses in particular their potential for organic and psychic violence. The study then elaborates working definitions of key terms (including the vexed idea of the 'popular') for the purposes of this investigation, and provides a historical survey of examples of the nexus between music and violence, from (pre)Biblical times to the late nineteenth century. The second half of the book concentrates on the modern era, marked in this case by the emergence of technologies by which music can be electronically augmented, generated, and disseminated, beginning with the advent of sound recording from the 1870s, and proceeding to audio-internet and other contemporary audio-technologies. Johnson and Cloonan argue that these technologies have transformed the potential of music to mediate cultural confrontations from the local to the global, particularly through violence. The authors present a taxonomy of case histories in the connection between popular music and violence, through increasingly intense forms of that relationship, culminating in the topical examples of music and torture, including those in Bosnia, Darfur, and by US forces in Iraq and Guantánamo Bay. This, however, is not simply a succession of data, but an argumentative synthesis. Thus, the final section debates the implications of this nexus both for popular music studies itself, and also in cultural policy and regulation, the ethics of citizenship, and arguments about human rights.

Book The Routledge Companion to Embodied Music Interaction

Download or read book The Routledge Companion to Embodied Music Interaction written by Micheline Lesaffre and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-09-19 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Routledge Companion to Embodied Music Interaction captures a new paradigm in the study of music interaction, as a wave of recent research focuses on the role of the human body in musical experiences. This volume brings together a broad collection of work that explores all aspects of this new approach to understanding how we interact with music, addressing the issues that have roused the curiosities of scientists for ages: to understand the complex and multi-faceted way in which music manifests itself not just as sound but also as a variety of cultural styles, not just as experience but also as awareness of that experience. With contributions from an interdisciplinary and international array of scholars, including both empirical and theoretical perspectives, the Companion explores an equally impressive array of topics, including: Dynamical music interaction theories and concepts Expressive gestural interaction Social music interaction Sociological and anthropological approaches Empowering health and well-being Modeling music interaction Music-based interaction technologies and applications This book is a vital resource for anyone seeking to understand human interaction with music from an embodied perspective.

Book Pain Management and the Opioid Epidemic

Download or read book Pain Management and the Opioid Epidemic written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2017-09-28 with total page 483 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drug overdose, driven largely by overdose related to the use of opioids, is now the leading cause of unintentional injury death in the United States. The ongoing opioid crisis lies at the intersection of two public health challenges: reducing the burden of suffering from pain and containing the rising toll of the harms that can arise from the use of opioid medications. Chronic pain and opioid use disorder both represent complex human conditions affecting millions of Americans and causing untold disability and loss of function. In the context of the growing opioid problem, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) launched an Opioids Action Plan in early 2016. As part of this plan, the FDA asked the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to convene a committee to update the state of the science on pain research, care, and education and to identify actions the FDA and others can take to respond to the opioid epidemic, with a particular focus on informing FDA's development of a formal method for incorporating individual and societal considerations into its risk-benefit framework for opioid approval and monitoring.
