Medicine's Melodies: Music, Health and Well-Being

https://doi.org/10.47513/mmd.v11i4.711##article.abstract##
Most of what we hear about the connection between music and health is largely anecdotal. The past decade has seen a renewed interest in the connections from researchers conducting rigorous experimental studies. In this broad overview, I will review the current state of knowledge, touching on music therapy for both physical and psychological health, music for the management of pain, and musical interventions for dementia patients.
