Abstract
To investigate the effect of classical music on bronchial hyperresponsiveness, 15 children with severe atopic asthma were studied using an Astograph to measure their bronchial responsiveness. There was no difference in St values between the two groups, but the Dmin values for the group who listened to the music were significantly higher than for those who did not (p<0.05).
This means that bronchial sensitivity was lower among those who listened to music than those who did not. This result suggests that music suppresses bronchial hyperresponsiveness.
