Study Overview
Brief Summary
Labor pain and anxiety are prevalent during childbirth and can have significant effects on both maternal and fetal outcomes (1). While pharmacological interventions are widely used, there is growing interest in non-pharmacological approaches such as music therapy (2). Music has been shown to reduce anxiety and pain in various clinical settings (3), and its calming effects could be especially beneficial during labor. Indian music, known for its rhythmic and soothing characteristics, could offer a culturally relevant therapeutic tool for pain and anxiety management in laboring mothers (4). However, limited research exists regarding Indian music and its specific impact on laboring women, thus necessitating this investigation (5, 6).
