Abstract: Objective To detect the effect of Guided Relaxation Method with Music on pain sensitivity and hemodynamics in acupuncture.Methods 70 volunteers aged 18 to 22, all in good condition, were randomized to study group or control group (each 35).In the control group, volunteers were only treated with acupuncture in a routine way while volunteers in the study group were treated with acupuncture using Guided Relaxation Method with Music .Comparing the change of heart rate and blood pressure before and after the experiment, and the pain sensitivity between these two groups.Results By comparing the two groups, it showed that there were no significant differences in heart rate, diastolic blood pressure and systolic blood pressure level(p>0.05).Numerical rat-ing scale scores in study group was much lower (p<0.001), and systolic blood pressure level after the experiment decreased more significantly than that in the control group (p<0.05).However, no significant differences can be seen in heart rate and diastolic blood pressure level after the experiment (p>0.05).Conclusion Guided Relaxation Method with Music could help to alleviate the feeling of pain, and make acupuncture therapy more acceptable.
