Pain - Post Op and Relaxation - Relaxation, Music Reduce Post-Op Pain. New research has found that relaxation
and music, separately or together, significantly reduce patients' pain following major abdominal
surgery.
The study, published in the May issue of the journal Pain, found that these methods reduce pain

Led by Marion Good, PhD, RN, of Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing, Case Western

Dr. Good and her research team studied three groups of patients undergoing abdominal surgery.
In addition to the usual pain medication, one group used a jaw relaxation technique, another
group listened to music, and a third group received a combination of relaxation and music.
Findings revealed that, after surgery, the three treatment groups had significantly less pain than
the control group, which received only pain medication.
"Both medication and self-care methods which involve patient participation are needed for
relief," said Dr. Good.
"These relaxation and music self-care methods provide more complete relief without the
undesired side effects of some pain medications."
The findings have important implications for the 23 million people who undergo surgery and
experience postoperative pain annually in the United States.
Pain can hamper recovery by heightening the body's response to the stress of surgery and
increasing tissue breakdown, coagulation and fluid retention.
Pain also interferes with appetite and sleep and can lead to complications that prolong
hospitalization.
