Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The expected outcome was that music would reduce anxiety in women undergoing cytopathological examination, which would be expressed through the analysis of blood pressure values and indexes derived from heart rate variability (linear indices in the time and frequency domain) , represented by PNN50 (percentage of adjacent RR intervals with a difference in duration greater than 50 ms), rMSSD (square root of the mean of the square of the differences between adjacent normal RR intervals) and HF (high frequency), these responsible for the action of the nervous system parasympathetic on the heart and SDNN (standard deviation of all normal RR intervals) representing sympathetic and parasympathetic activity;The outcome found: the women who underwent Papanicolaou who underwent auditory musical stimulus showed attenuation of parasympathetic responses, since there was no significant increase in the rMSSD, PNN50 and HF indices, as seen in the control group. On the other hand, the only index of heart rate variability with a significant increase was SDNN, which represents both the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system responses. Finally, the exposure to the musical stimulus at the time of the Pap smear was not correlated with the reduction of stress triggered by the exam
