HR alteration during music therapy session (group A)
Descriptive statistics for each STAIC measure assessed prior to and following the MT and WT sessions and the significance of any demonstrated change are shown in Figure 3. In regard to SAIC, it is obvious that, it was observed a larger decrease in the mean value after the MT session (M=-2.44, SD=3.48) than after the WT one (M=-0.31, SD=1.98). On the other hand, both SAIC and TAIC factors present similar mean values between groups indicating that the control group was very well matched in all respects with the experimental one. Moreover, from paired t-tests, it was found out that SAIC score was significantly influenced by the MT (t=5.36, p<0.001) as well as it was not significantly influenced by the WT session (t=1.02, p>0.05: NS).
