An Observation on Circulatory System of Vegetative State Patient with Music Therapy

This is a study focused on circulatory system of music therapy on vegetative state patient after a consecutive 41-day experiment. In this study, Mahler´s symphony no.2 was used for this music therapy. Mahler´s symphony no.2, Resurrection, is good for music therapy. With various elements in Mahler´s second symphony, with string, wind, drum, and even voice; providing a strong and dynamic stimulation. There are some significant changes after 14-day stimulation: both the standard deviation of time sequence (SDNN) of the subject increased while the standard deviation of SDNN (SDNN-std) also increased significantly, indicating the circulatory system the activity of the cardiovascular system was enhanced. As for SDNN, the increase rate is more than 75% from the beginning. Although there´s only one subject in this experiment, the significant results are still encouraging.
