Abstract :
We found the recent original article published in the
Iranian Red Crescent Medical journal by Miladinia Mojtaba
et al. entitled “The Comparison of the Effect of Two Complementary
Medicine Methods (Music Therapy and Massage
Therapy) On Postoperative Acute Pain After Abdominal
Surgery: A Randomized Clinical Trial Study” (1). The
authors expertly detailed an interesting investigation on
the complementary methods to reduce postoperative pain
and postoperative opioid requirement in patients receiving
10-minute sessions of music and slow-stroke back massage
(SSBM) with the usual care group after abdominal
surgery. They concluded that music therapy did not have
a significant effect on the trend of pain intensity; even six
hours after surgery, pain intensity in the usual care group
was lower than that of the music therapy group; therefore,
it was not effective as a complementary method to reduce
postoperative pain score.
