Surgery Recovery Specialists from Pearl Recovery Retreat Discuss Whether Music Can Improve Your Overall Recovery from Surgery
Beverly Hills, CA (PRWEB) September 25, 2015 -- According to an analysis of numerous studies that was published in The Lancet on August 12, 2015, music can help reduce pain and relieve anxiety in patients during surgery and the post-operative recovery period. The analysis compared trials in which patients listened to music before, during, or after surgery to determine whether timing and type of music had an effect on the patient's experience and recovery. It was concluded that the time of delivery as well as the type of music did not influence the outcome and even patients that were under general anesthesia benefited from music being played.
“Throughout any surgical operation, it is very important that patients feel safe and comfortable,” said CEO and founder of Pearl Recovery Retreat in Beverly Hills Isabella Koretz. “The less stress and anxiety a patient feels, the more seamless the recovery period and overall success of the procedure. That is why at Pearl Recovery Retreat we place the highest importance on creating a peaceful, relaxing, hotel environment that is the most conducive to patient healing.”
Compared to standard procedures and post-surgical care, music reduced pain after surgery by at least 20 percent as well as reduced the use of pain medication by roughly 10 percent. With sufficient research on the positive impact of music, the authors of the research analysis noted, music should be an option for all patients undergoing surgery of any kind.
“The after surgery recovery process requires more than just bed rest and taking the time to heal,” added Ms. Koretz. “Focusing on a patient's mental and emotional well being after surgery is just as important for encouraging and allowing the body to recover. Patients benefit immensely from recovering in a tranquil, stress-free environment in which their medical needs are supervised and their personal comfort, such as listening to their choice of music in a luxurious bedroom, is a top priority.”
Music has been found to alleviate pain and reduce anxiety in patients by offering a familiar, soothing distraction that takes the mind off the many stressors that often come with undergoing a surgical procedure.
“No matter what type of procedure our guests have undergone, at Pearl Recovery Retreat, we make every effort to ensure our guests have a speedy, healthful recovery,” said Ms. Koretz.
