Abstract

The use of music as a means of inducing positive emotions and subsequent relaxation has been extensively studied by researchers. A great deal of this research has focussed on the use of music as a means of reducing feelings of anxiety and stress as well as aiding in the relief of numerous pathologies. The purpose of this study was to evaluate this effect of music using laser doppler flowmeter that monitors relative changes in the muscular blood cell perfusion, concentration of moving blood cells, mean velocity of the myofascial pain disorder patients. Total of 30 subjects were selected. They were monitored by LDF(Laser Doppler Flowmeter) during music listening for 3 minutes. LDF probe was placed over the temporalis muscle. The obtained results were as follows: 1. The average blood perfusion for 3 minutes of music listening at surface of temporalis muscles were elevated on both affected and unaffected parts compared to rest time. 2. The average of blood perfusion elevated during music listening at surface of temporalis muscles were higher in affected part than unaffected part. 3. Increase of blood perfusion during music listening is proportioin to that before music listening. In summary, these results may encouraging start to the elucidation of the hemodynamic events occuring during music listening and aimed to serve as a base for further studies.

측두근의 근막동통으로 진단된 환자의 이환측과 비이환측 측두부에 대한 음악 청취 시의 혈액관류 변화를 비교 평가하고자 본 연구를 시행하였다. 경희대학교 치과대학 부속 치과병원 구강내과에 내원한 측두근 부위에서 촉진 시 통증을 호소하는 환자 중 근막동통장애로 진단된 환자에서 측두부 피하천부의 혈액관류를 미세혈류측정기로 음악 청취 전과 후에 비교 측정하여 혈구의 수, 혈류의 평균속도를 측정하고 평가한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 음악 청취 시 측두부 피하천부의 혈류는 이환측, 비이환측 모두 증가되었다. 2. 음악 청취 시 비이환측보다 이환측에서 피하천부의 혈류가 더욱 증가되었다. 3. 음악 청취 시 혈액관류량의 증가는 청취 전 관류량에 비례하여 증가되었다. 음악 청취 시 측두부 피하천부에서 혈액관류가 증가되었던 것은 자율신경계 반응에 의한 결과로 생각된다. 또한 측두근 부위에서 비이환측에 비하여 이환측에서 음악 청취 시에 혈류가 더욱 증가되었던 것은 자율신경계 반응으로 증가된 혈류가 수축 된 심층 근육으로 충분히 관류되지 못하고 표층으로 더 많은 혈액이 재관류 되었던 것으로 생각된다. 따라서 본 연구의 결과, 이환측과 비이환측에서 혈액관류의 변화정도가 차이가 있었으므로, 이것이 임상적 진단이나 감별 진단, 또는 치료 후의 예후 평가에 기여할 수 있는 자료가 될 수 있다고 생각되며, 근막통증환자에게 혈액관류를 평가해 보는 것이 효과적인 진단방법이 될 수 있으리라고 생각된다.
