Reducing Psycho-Emotional Stress in Pregnant Women with Somatic Disorders in the Last Month of Pregnancy




When the time of labor comes nearer many pregnant women experience increasing anxi­ety and/or emotional stress. These pa­rame­ters were measured by the help of the color choosing test of Luescher (H. Luescher 1994) in an experimental group of patients listening to Medical Resonance Therapy Music® in ad­di­tion to a conventional treatment with medical drugs and physio-therapeutic exercises and in a control group with the conventional treat­ment only.


Medical Resonance Therapy Music® Group

In addition to the conventional treatment the 15 women in this group listened for seven days each day for one hour to the Medical Resonance Therapy Music® right after the physio-therapeutic exercises.

At the end of the treatment psychoemotional stress was lowered by 47%.
Control Group


This 10 women in this group received the conventional treatment “only” and no sig­nifi­cant changes in the status of the emotional stress level were documented.
