SCIENTIFIC MUSIC MEDICINE - Scientific Research Summary

Significant improvement in the hormone status in pregnant women with somatic disorders leading to a significant increase in the well-being of mother and child, compared to only minor improvement in the control group.

Improvement of the kariopicnotic index (KPI) in risk pregnancies: in the Medical Resonance Therapy Music^® group the KPI first fell to 10-12%, after 6 days to 7-8%, after 9 days to 6-8%. In the control group it first fell to 14-17%, after 6 days to 11-13%, after 9 days to 9-10% – so significantly less. The fall in the KPI shows a significant improvement in the course of the pregnancy.

Significant reduction in the number of premature births – from 14% down to 6,2% – since the introduction of treatment with Medical Resonance Therapy Music^® for pregnant women facing the risk of miscarriage.

Faster normalization of excessively high blood pressure (reduction of 15-20 mmHg) in pregnant women with mild gestosis (OPH syndrome) than in the medication group.

Dispersion of the clinical risk characteristics in pregnant women with a threat of miscarriage:
after 2-3 days there were no longer any clinical risk characteristics in 60% of the women, in 100% after 5-7 days. In the control group: the clinical risk characteristics had disappeared in 70% after 7-10 days, in 30% there was no complete dispersion of the risk characteristics.

Improvement of the general mental state in women with a mild gestosis (OPH-syndrome): For 7-10 days 13 women listened to the Medical Resonance Therapy Music^® in the morning and after lunch and had no other therapy during these days. In 10 of the 13 women (77%) the treatment with the music caused a clear improvement of the mental state.

Calming of the fetus during labor: Acceleration and deceleration of fetal heart beat reduced – the fetus was calmed.

Reducing sleep disorders in pregnant women with somatic disorders in the last month of pregnancy: Before starting with the treatment, the frequency of sleep disorders was 86%, after the conventional treatment and the additional application of the Medical Resonance Therapy Music^® it was only 7%. In the control group: prior to treatment 50%, after treatment an increase to 80%.

Normalization of sleep in 61% of pregnant women, compared to 30% in the medication group.

Improvement in the hormone status in pregnant women with somatic disorders: increase in the placentalactogen content from 217.5 nmol/l to 274.9 nmol/l and of the estriol level from 80.0 ƒÊ mol/24 hours to 103.3 ƒÊ mol/24 hours, leading to an improvement in the well-being of the mother and child.

Improvement in the fetal heart activity in pregnant women with gestosis (OPH syndrome): 14% faster than in the control group: the cardiotocogram showed a normalization of the condition of the fetus in 86% of the studies. After only 6 treatments the number of accelerations and the variability had increased and treatment could be completed after 12 days. In the control group normalization first occurred after 9-10 days and the entire treatment required 14 days.

Faster breakdown of the protein content in the urine of pregnant women with gestosis (OPH syndrome).

Improvement of sleep in 77% of the pregnant women with a mild form of gestosis (OPH syndrome). Reducing the frequency of sleep disorders from 86% to 7%. In the control group an increase from 50% to 80%.

Improvement in the hormone status in risk pregnancies: reduction of the cortisol level by 36% (double compared to that in the control group) coupled with a simultaneous increase in the progesterone level by 100% (almost four times as much as in the control group). The lowering of the cortisol level minimizes the stress risk-factor threatening the pregnancy, whilst the doubling of the progesterone increases the well-being of mother and child.

Reducing the frequency of headache attacks in pregnant women from 73% to 20%. In the control group there was an increase from 60% to 70%.

Improvement of restless and melancholy emotional states in pregnant women under threat of miscarriage in the first trimester of pregnancy: Evaluating the MMPI a healing effect of the MRT-Music^® could be documented in 14 out of 15 pregnant women. The improvement in the mood and the general state stood at 87% of the reports. At the end of the treatment with the MRT-Music^® the mental state of 69,2% of the women was normal again; there was no incidence of a deterioration in the mental state. The results of the control group: in 40% a complete normalization, in 40% a further aggravation of the state.

Normalization of the immune status in 56% of pregnant women from a group under the threat of miscarriage. In the control group the immune status normalized in 46% of the pregnant women.

Reduction of mental manifestations of stress: reduction of the emotional stress in pregnant women with somatic disorders by 47%, compared to no reduction of stress in the control group.

Taking of fetal heart activity out of the danger zone up to a level of 9.2 on the Krebs’ scale, which indicates a very satisfactory fetal condition.

Faster normalization of high blood pressure in pregnant women than in a control group receiving hypotonic and sedative medicine.

Shorter stay in hospital:
Faster recovery in pregnant women under threat of miscarriage in the first trimester of pregnancy – the women could leave the hospital successfully treated already after 9-11 days: by 35% quicker than the patients in the control group.

Faster recovery in high-risk pregnancies with gestosis (OPH syndrome): in this group treatment could be completed 14% faster than in the control group.

Faster recovery of pregnant women at risk with a mild form of gestosis (OPH-syndrome): Improvement in fetal heart activity: 20 - 30% faster than in the control group.
The cardiotocogram showed a normalization of the condition of the fetus in 86% of the studies. This was also subjectively confirmed by the mothers-to-be who felt better and better. After only 6 treatments the number of accelerations and the variability of fetal heart beat had improved, documenting an improved function of the fetal-placental system. The treatment in the MRT-Music^® group could be completed after 12 days, normalization in the control group first occurred after 9-10 days and the entire treatment required 14 days – that is, the recovery of the MRT-Music^® group was 14% faster.

Improvement of sleep in 77% of the pregnant women with a mild form of gestosis (OPH syndrome). Reducing the frequency of sleep disorders from 86% to 7%. In the control group an increase from 50% to 80%.
