The pregnant women were sent to hospital, because the fetuses were in danger due to rheumatism and heart, kidney and liver prob­lems of the mothers. All women received a conventional medical drug therapy as well as a treatment with physiotherapeutic exercises.

Information about the well being of the fetus was derived by the levels of placenta-lac­to­gen in blood plasma as well of estriol in the urine of the mother. These hormone levels were measured before starting with the treat­ment and at the end of the treatment.


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.

Together with the conventional treatment the Medical Resonance Therapy Music^® improved the hormone status very clearly:
the level of placenta-lactogen rose from 217.5 nmol/l (± 5.3) to 274.9 nmol/l (± 5.7) and the estriol level from 80.0 µmol/24 hours (±2) to 103.3 µmol/24 hours (±1.7), which clearly demonstrates a positive effect of the Medical Resonance Therapy Music^® on the function of the fetal-placental unit and through this on the well-being of the pregnant woman and her fetus.


Control Group

In this group 10 pregnant women received the conventional treatment only.

The hormone levels changed merely: pla­cen­ta­lac­to­gen went down from 203.9 nmol/l (±3,6) before the treatment to 203.5 nmol/l (±5.1) after ending the therapy, and parallel to this estriol dropped from 77.1 µmol/24 hours (±1.8) to 75.8 µmol/24 hours (±2). Here the conventional treatment alone did not create an increase in the well-being of the pregnant and her fetus.
