When the time of parturition comes nearer many pregnant women complain more and more of sleep disorders, manifesting as prob­lems with falling asleep, as well as too short and too shallow sleep.

The women had been sent to hospital be­cause the fetuses were in danger due to rheumatism as well as heart, kidney and liver problems of the mothers. Except for the treat­ment with the Medical Resonance Therapy Music^® the investigations and treatments were the same in both groups: the mothers took medical drugs and vitamins and performed special physiotherapeutic exercises.

The treatment with drugs, vitamins and spe­cial physiotherapeutic exercises were directed to the special somatic problems of the preg­nants but their sleep disturbances were not treated.


Medical Resonance Therapy Music^® Group

In addition to the conventional drug therapy 15 women listened after physiotherapeutic ex­er­cises for seven days one hour to relaxing music preparations of Medical Resonance Therapy Music^® via cd-player and headphone.

Before starting with the treatment, the fre­quency of sleep disorders was 86%, after the conventional treatment and the additional ap­pli­ca­tion of the Medical Resonance Therapy Music^® it was only 7%.


Control Group

This group of 10 patients received the same conventional drug treatment against the so­matic disorders (no drugs for sleep were given) and performed the same program of physiotherapeutic exercises, but did not listen to MRT-Music^®. Before the conventional treat­ment the frequency of sleep disorders was 50%, after the treatment it had gone up to 80%.
