Music Therapy
Music therapy is the use of music (of various styles) to reduce tension and promote relaxation.
Uses/Research Base:
Music therapy is used in general and psychiatric hospitals, rehabilitation facilities, outpatient clinics, day-care treatment
centers, residences for people with developmental disabilities, community mental health centers, drug and alcohol programs, senior centers, nursing homes, hospice programs,
correctional facilities, halfway houses, schools, and private practice. Studies have found music therapy effective as an analgesic, as a relaxant and anxiety
reducer for infants and children, and as an adjunctive treatment with burn patients, cancer patients, cerebral palsy patients, and stroke, brain injury, or
Parkinson's disease patients.
