Normalization of Mental Functions after Gynecological Surgery

The study investigated 28 women who received a fibromyom surgery of the uterus.

The evaluation of the mental state of the patients was gained by the help of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inven- tory.
It became obvious that the initial patient profiles showed great differences: from normal states up to obvious psychopathic disorders, where the peak profile values even reached 90 t-points.

The average initial profile of the patients was characterized by

the creation of emotionally disturbed ideas concerning the disease

the inclination to a twisted
interpretation of the disease (raising the scale 6,8,1) as well as

the tendency to take refuge in the disease (which became clear through the configuration of the neurotic scale as converse 5)

Under investigation were 28 women who received a fibromyom surgery on the uterus.

Medical Resonance Therapy Music^® Group

Control Group

14 women were treated with Medical Resonance Therapy Music^® 2-3 times before surgery and for twelve days after surgery, 1-2 times per day, each time for 30-60 minutes in addition to a conventional treatment with antibiotics, vitamin preparations, anodyne drugs and a disintoxication therapy as well as a physiotherapy. In difference to the control group these women did not receive sedative drugs before and after surgery.

By the treatment with the Medical Resonance Therapy Music^® within the context of the complex therapy great changes in the mental profile took place:

in 77,8% of the factors a
complete normalization
established

in 11,1% of the factors a
significant improvement
became evident

in 11,1% of the factors a
deterioration occurred

The common average profile after the treatment with the Medical Resonance Therapy Music^® did not surpass 50-55 t-points, indicating a complete normalization of the mental functions in this group on average.

Improvement of mood

69% of the reports showed a significant improvement in mood and reported a feeling of an internal uplifting of the spirits.

In this group 14 women received the conventional treatment only, not listening to Medical Resonance Therapy Music.
Before surgery they received sedative drugs and after surgery they received the conventional treatment. In difference to the experimental group the women here were treated also with sedative drugs after surgery in order to treat their sleep disorders.

By the treatment with the conventional therapies the following changes in the mental profile of the patients took place:

in 10% of the factors a complete
normalization established

10% of the factors did not improve

20% of the factors worsened

10% of the factors worsened predominantly

10% remained without dynamics

40% showed undefined effects

Improvement of mood

Mood improved only in 18% of the women and this only shortly before leaving the hospital
