Integrative Use of Sound Therapy for Mental Health Promotion

Integrative Use of Sound Therapy for Mental Health Promotion: A Randomized Clinical Trial

This randomized clinical trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of sound therapy in improving mental health and quality of life. Participants will be randomized into two groups: an intervention group using an acoustic resonance chamber and a control group using headphones. Both groups will be exposed to specific sound frequencies for nine minutes, once a week, for three weeks. The study investigates associations between sound therapy and levels of anxiety, stress, depression, and quality of life.

Detaljerad beskrivning

  • Mental health disorders such as anxiety, stress, and depression are prevalent global health issues. Sound therapy is proposed as an integrative complementary therapy to address these conditions. This prospective randomized open-label study involves 110 participants.
  • Participants will be randomized into:

> 1. *Intervention Group:* Receives sound therapy inside a specifically designed acoustic resonance chamber.

> 2. *Control Group:* Receives the same sound therapy sequence using headphones, without the chamber.

  • The intervention consists of three weekly sessions of 9 minutes each. The sound protocol uses nine specific frequencies (ranging from 174 Hz to 936 Hz) derived from a 432 Hz tuning reference. Outcomes will be measured using validated scales including DASS-21, WHOQOL-Bref, and others at baseline, during the intervention, and at 30-day and 120-day follow-ups.

Intervention / Behandling
Experimentell: Acoustic Resonance Chamber
Participants listen to specific sound frequencies inside a cylindrical acoustic resonance chamber (190 cm high and 90 cm in diameter), designed to optimize sound pressure distribution. Sessions last 9 minutes, once a week, for 3 weeks.
Procedur: Acoustic Resonance Sound Therapy
Participants will receive sound therapy in 3 sessions, one session per week, each lasting 9 minutes. The protocol uses 9 sound frequencies as follows: session 1 will use the frequencies of 396 Hz (close to the note G), 639 Hz (close to the note E), and 963 Hz (close to the note B); session 2 will use the frequencies of 174 Hz (close to the note F), 417 Hz (close to the note G sharp), and 741 Hz (close to the note F sharp); and session 3 will use the frequencies of 285 Hz (close to the note D), 528 Hz (close to the note C), and 852 Hz (close to the note A), with each frequency applied for three minutes. Sound therapy is performed inside an acoustic resonance chamber, designed to optimize sound pressure distribution.
Aktiv komparator: Control Group with Headphones
Participants listen to exactly the same sound frequencies, for the same duration (9 minutes, once a week, for 3 weeks), using headphones while remaining seated in a chair, outside the acoustic chamber environment.
Procedur: Control Group with Headphones
Participants will receive sound therapy in 3 sessions, one session per week, each lasting 9 minutes. The protocol uses 9 sound frequencies as follows: session 1 will use the frequencies of 396 Hz (close to the note G), 639 Hz (close to the note E), and 963 Hz (close to the note B); session 2 will use the frequencies of 174 Hz (close to the note F), 417 Hz (close to the note G sharp), and 741 Hz (close to the note F sharp); and session 3 will use the frequencies of 285 Hz (close to the note D), 528 Hz (close to the note C), and 852 Hz (close to the note A), with each frequency applied for three minutes. Participants receive the sound protocol through headphones, while remaining seated.

Tidsram
Change from Baseline in Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scores
Tidsram: Baseline, Day 7 post-intervention, Day 30 post-intervention, and Day 120 post-intervention.
Assessed using the 21-item Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-21). It assesses the severity of the core symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress. It consists of three subscales. The total score for each subscale is calculated by summing the scores of the 7 relevant items (scored from 0 to 3) and multiplying by 2. Therefore, final scores for each subscale range from 0 to 42. Higher scores indicate greater symptom severity.

Change from Baseline in General Health
Tidsram: Baseline, Day 30 post-intervention, and Day 120 post-intervention.
ssessed using the 12-item General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12). It evaluates psychological distress and current mental health. Scores are scaled from 0 to 36 (using the 0-1-2-3 Likert scoring method). Higher scores indicate worse psychological well-being and higher levels of distress.
Baseline, Day 30 post-intervention, and Day 120 post-intervention.
Change from Baseline in Alcohol Use
Tidsram: Baseline, Day 30 post-intervention, and Day 120 post-intervention.
Assessed using the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT). This 10-item screening tool measures alcohol consumption, drinking behaviors, and alcohol-related problems. Total scores range from 0 to 40. Higher scores indicate more hazardous and harmful alcohol use.
