We have also successfully used this method in obstetrics, particularly where there have been complications with the pregnancy, such as a risk of losing the pregnancy and of toxemia.

The group at risk of losing the pregnancy comprised 15 women in the 10th to 13th week of pregnancy. The risk of termination stemmed from neuro-psychological factors and from severe stress. The complex laboratory examinations carried out on the pregnant women on the first day also included an examination of the levels of the hormones cortisol, progesterone and estradiol. In addition, vaginal smears were examined in order to determine the hormonal saturation. Assessment of the emotional-personal sphere was again carried out with the help of the MMPI. The control group also comprised 15 women.

They received conventional therapy to prevent loss of pregnancy, and this included sedative and spasmolytic remedies and vitamins.

The patients in the MRT-Music^® group listened to the music 1–2 times a day for 30-60 minutes, a total of 8–12 times. The blood samples were taken in the mornings before treatment and again after treatment. Every three days smears were examined in the clinical laboratory.

When the patients were admitted to the hospital, the karyopyknosic index (KPI) in the smears fluctuated between 16% and 21%. As a result of the treatment, the KPI in the MRT-Music^® group fell after only 3 days to 10%–12% and in the control group only down to 14%–17%. After 6 days, it was down to 7%–8% and 11%–13% respectively.

As this shows, the level of cortisol and estradiol for the pregnant women in the MRT-Mu­sic group went down by 40 – 50% (in the control group by 27%), and the progesterone level doubled.

After the MRT-Music^® treatment, the mental state of 69.2% of the pregnant women had normalized and there was no incidence of a deterioration, whilst in the control group – treated in the conventional way – an improvement in the mental state was only evident in 40% of the women.

Approximately the same percentage was characterized by a deterioration in the extant health disorders. Furthermore, there was an improvement in the general health and mood of the women in the MRT-Music^® group. Sleep, high blood pressure, and appetite became normal.

The women in the MRT-Music^® group required 9–11 days hospital treatment, whilst the control group had to be treated for 14– 16 days.

We also gathered interesting data when using Medical Resonance Therapy Music^® to treat toxemia. The MRT-Music^® group comprised patients with a mild form of toxemia.
They were prescribed Medical Resonance Therapy Music^® as a monotherapy within the framework of a complex course of treatment. The health of the pregnant women was monitored according to certain parameters such as pulse, respiration frequency, blood pressure, general state, sleep, changes in the cardiotocographic status of the foetus.

The patients in the control group were not treated with Medical Resonance Therapy Music, but instead were treated in the usual conventional way (spasmolytics, sedatives, and hypotensives).

As the data recorded indicate, after only 6 sessions with Medical Resonance Therapy Music^®, the variability and the number of accelerations increased, which shows the improvement in the status of the foetus. Normalization of the blood pressure, the gen­eral condition and sleep occurred in 82% of the women.

Consequently, this music can be successfully used in the treatment of toxemia.

A new component in our research work is the study of the effects of Medical Resonance Therapy Music^® on the immune system of pregnant women.
Ten women diagnosed with a threat of miscarriage took part in the study.
They listened to the music for a week.

After the treatment, besides an improvement in the general condition, positive changes were registered in a series of immunological parameters, including an increase in the T-lymphocyte level, Normalization of their functional activity, the relationship of the T-helper, T-suppressors, the production of immunoglobulins (including a reduction in immunoglobulin M).

The consequence of all this is a clear reduction of the circulating immuno-complexes in the blood serum. No stimulation of the immune system’s phagocytic link has been ascertained. This research is still continuing and should be concluded in the next 2 –3 months.

Medical Resonance Therapy Music^® is not only used for in-patient treat­ment. In our women’s advice center, we have a psychological relaxation facility where the main method of treatment is Medical Resonance Therapy Music^®.

Women who belong to the fol­low­ing risk groups are treated:

Out-patient treatment involves 12–18 sessions, whereby the music must be listened to every day. Generally, a reduction in risk is seen in the women. So last year, as a result of this therapy, we had no serious cases of toxemia, no complications during the post-operative period and a reduction in the number of premature births.

I would like to thank the composer Peter Hübner and all his colleagues for developing an objective and obviously effective means of prophylaxis and method of treatment for various complications and illnesses with the help of Medical Resonance Therapy Music^®. This method can be used successfully in obstetrics and Gynaecology This is a rec­og­nized method in Belarus. It needs further scientific research and should be used more extensively in practice.

The method is not only suitable for the purposes mentioned above, but also for screen­ing all pregnant women and those suffering from gynecological complaints who require surgical treatment. For Belarus, this method gains particular significance in connection with the Chernobyl catastrophe, where the most important health disorder is chronic stress. I would like to give expression to the hope that our collaboration in the future scientific exploration of this method as a prophylactic and broad spectrum treatment for the maintenance and strengthening of the reproductive health of women will develop successfully and fruitfully.
