Music as a Cure

Music has long been used to make people dance, sing, and cry, but also to help people recover from physical and emotional trauma. The literature has reported that music can be used as a powerful and physically noninvasive tool for reducing pain, stress, depression, and anxiety (Mogos et al., 2013). This discovery has led to the establishment of music therapy practice that utilizes evidence-based music interventions to complement conventional medical therapy and help patients to heal faster. Considering that music-supported therapy can be administered by family members or people other than music therapists, it is essential to know what effects music has on the body and when can music be successfully used as part of therapy.

According to the American Music Therapy Association, music therapy is the evidence-based clinical application of music intervention with an aim to accomplish therapeutic goals (Supnet et al., 2016). Music therapy should be applied by board-certified music therapists who are trained to use their knowledge and skills to address the needs of different patients. Estimates claim that there are around 5,000 music therapists across the globe that work alongside other medical professionals (Knight and Wiese, 2011). Music activates many brain structures that control emotional, cognitive, and sensorimotor processes. Functional neuroimaging studies suggest that music has a powerful effect on mood and emotions because it activates core structures responsible for emotional processing. Additionally, the literature has reported that listening to music can alter the activity of the limbic and paralimbic structures thus evoking pleasurable sensations that involve “chills down the spine” (Koelsch, S., Offermanns, K. & Franzke, P., 2010). According to Blod and Yatorre’s (2001) research, the increase in the intensity of the previously mentioned chills increases the cerebral blood-flow, especially in the regions that control rewards and emotions such as the insula, the prefrontal and orbitofrontal cortex, and ventral striatum. All of this evidence suggests that music has physical effects on the body.   

In their study, Varshika and Annali (2014) studied the effects of music on patients that have undergone cardiac surgery. They reported that patients’ experiences were mainly positive because music decreased stress and anxiety levels. They recommended that music therapy should become a routine part of intensive unit postoperative care. A review of studies that examined the effects of music on acute stroke patients reported that music intervention could result in favorable treatment outcomes by reducing the levels of pain, anxiety, and stress in these patients (Supnet et al., 2016). The authors, therefore, recommended that nurses working with post-stroke patients need to be better educated on the therapeutic role of music so that they can use music intervention in the rehabilitation centers for stroke patients. Some authors have also investigated the effects that musical intervention has on patients suffering from affective disorders. Affective disorders are a group of mood or psychiatric disorders that include depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder. As these disorders are caused by changes in the functioning of neurotransmitters responsible for controlling the mood, researchers hypostatized that music interventions could benefit these patients. Researchers reported that that pleasant music could modulate brain activity and activate areas responsible for pleasure and reward (Koelsch, S., Offermanns, K. & Franzke, P., 2010). Music can also benefit the way patients perceive medical care. In their randomized study, Mogos et al. (2013) investigated the effects of therapeutic music on hospitalized patients. The authors reported that patients who were exposed to music intervention gave higher scores when rating the care they received. Therefore, the authors believe music interventions can be successfully used to improve treatment outcomes and patient satisfaction during hospitalization.
