Abstract: High levels of stress and anxiety during pregnancy is common for women. Music therapy is known to be effective for hypertensive and pre hypertensive adults. We decided to study effects of receptive music therapy on BP and pulse rate in hospitalized pre-hypertensive women in the third trimester of pregnancy. One Hundred women in the third trimester of pregnancy with pre-hypertension were included in the study. They were divided into study and control group; each consisting of 50 subjects. Subjects included in this group were asked to come daily or at least six times a week for continuous three months duration for a music course. Two recordings of Blood Pressure were taken before and after music therapy. Our study showed that music therapy had a profound influence on the Blood Pressure. In study group Both the SBP and DBP showed significantly lower value after music therapy. Keywords:Third Trimester, Pregnancy, Music, Blood Pressure, Women, stress, hypertensive.
