From Music ‘can reduce chronic pain’:
US researchers tested the effect of music on 60 patients who had endured years of chronic pain.
Those who listened to music reported a cut in pain levels of up to 21%, and in associated depression of up to 25%, compared to those who did not listen.
Not that we need any scientific proof to tell us that music can change the way we feel, but it’s nice to have studies on the effects of music anyway — Especially for the burgeoning field of music therapy.
