AB  - Studies have reported that music can decrease anxiety and stress in adults, and can have a physiologic effect by decreasing blood pressure, regulating breathing, and improving muscle tone. Only a few studies have examined the use of karaoke among persons with psychiatric illnesses, and none have examined its use in an acute inpatient setting. This article discusses karaoke among psychiatric patients in an acute care setting.
