Role of Audio Distraction in Management of Anxiety in Children| Chapter 10| Medicine and Medical Research: New Perspectives Vol. 8

The study aimed to determine the role of audio distraction in the management of anxiety in children. Dental anxiety is one of the most commonly encountered problems in the dental clinic. Anxiety, if not handled in the right way, can compromise the quality of dental care. As a dental clinician, there are various methods of behavior management; one of them is Audio distraction. Music has always been one of the most commonly used methods to relieve anxiety So, this review was written with the intention to study the effect of Audio distraction in the management of anxious dental patients. Audio distraction is one of the most efficient forms of non-invasive behavior management techniques, as the equipment used are musical instruments, headsets, and audio players among others. Various studies have concluded that audio distraction causes a noticeable reduction in the anxiety of the patients. While being an effective tool in behavior management it has not been proven to reduce pain perception in patients. Hence, in the plethora of behavior management techniques, audio distraction can be employed to play a pivotal role.

Music Therapy and its Impact on Health among Children | Chapter 16 | Current Approaches in Science and Technology Research Vol. 14

 Music is one of the few activities that requires the use of both sides of the brain. It is ingrained in all cultures and can provide unexpected benefits not just in terms of language acquisition, memory enhancement, and attention concentrating, but also in terms of physical coordination and growth. It also works as a pain reliever, blood pressure reducer, heart medicine, stroke medicine, alzheimer's medicine, autism medicine, post-stroke recovery medicine, chronic headaches treatment, and migraine treatment. Music strengthens the immune system and improves intelligence, learning, and IQ. Concentration, athletic performance, bodily mobility and coordination, productivity, tiredness fighter, mood, and depression are all improved by music. Relaxing music promotes sleep, relieves stress, and promotes relaxation. Music can help us manage undesirable characteristics of our personalities such as worry, bias, and wrath. Of course, music can be distracting if it's excessively loud or jarring, or if it competes with what we're trying to do for our attention. However, most people benefit from exposure to many types of music.
