Nine subjects were r and omly selected to participate in this study . Qualitative and quantitative data was collected on the patients ' pain , anxiety , heart rate , blood oxygenation , and engagement level through measurement tools and interviews . The results from the qualitative and quantitative data indicated that music therapy reduced pain , anxiety , and behavioral distress . The quantitative data were analyzed and an inverse relationship between engagement in music therapy and lower behavioral distress scores was noted . Additionally , a linear relationship between engagement and behavioral distress was noted ; significance was found but was moderated by the age of the child . However , no significant relationship was found between heart rate and behavioral distress . The results from the qualitative data from the interviews with the patients , parents , nurses and music therapist indicated that music therapy reduced pain and anxiety , and that engagement in music therapy enhanced relaxation . In addition , music therapy positively affected patients ' mood , compliance , and the relaxation level . Finally , parents/guardians and nurses involved in the study reported that music therapy helped them to feel more relaxed as well
