A study was conducted to assess the Effectiveness of Music Therapy in reducing pain on post natal mothers who underwent lower segment caesarean section in Dr. Jeyasekaran Medical Trust Hospital, Nagercoil, Kanyakumari District. A quasi-experimental approach and control group research design was adopted, and the 40 samples were selected using convenient sampling techniques. The instrument used for the data collection procedure was Brief Modified Pain Inventory and standard cassettes. Based on the objectives and Hypothesis, the collected data were analyzed by using Descriptive and Inferential statistics. The level of significance was taken 0.05 level. Study proved that there is significant reduction of pain among the experimental group than the control group. The mean differences of pain reduction of both groups on the I day morning to evening with and without music therapy are 3.45±1.504 and 1.95±0.944 respectively. Similarly, the II-day pain reductions are 5.85±0.988 and 2.05±1.05 and III day are 6.30±1.08 and 3.80±1.85The overall mean pain differences of both groups on I day paired ‘t’ test value was t = 3.777. Which was significant at p< 0.01 level, II day paired ‘t’ test value was t = 11.787. Which was significant at p< 0.01 level, III day paired ‘t’ test value was t = 5.219. Which was significant at p< 0.01 level.
