ABSTRACT: Pregnancy is a necessity for human life; it is essential for the regeneration of generation and represents the time of the formation of a new creature.1 Hypertension caused by pregnancy is defined as developing hypertension as a direct result of the gravid condition.2 It occurs in about 7-10% of all pregnancies. Listening to music can have a profound effect on our mind and body, especially the slow, slow-moving classical music. This type of music can have a positive effect on our physical activity, lowering heart rate and heart rate, lowering blood pressure, and lowering stress hormones.3 The aim of the present study was to observe the effect of music therapy on level of blood pressure among the antenatal women with pregnancy induced hypertension in selected hospitals of Punjab. Quasi experimental research approach and non randomized control group design was used to carry out study. 50 antenatal women (25 in experimental and 25 in control group) were selected. The results of the study depicts that on pre interventional level of blood pressure on morning day 1st in experimental group was systolic blood pressure was 154.48±7.113 and diastolic blood pressure was 98.08±4.222. The post interventional level of blood pressure in experimental group on evening day 2nd was systolic blood pressure was 125.92±6.794 and diastolic blood pressure was 87.52±5.455 which shows a significant decrease in level of blood pressure.
