Music and Health-What the Science Says - NCCIH
The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health publishes a wealth of information online. This morning, I opened my mail to information on music and health.
The article covers the science behind the use use of music for anxiety, depressive symptoms, COPD and pain associated with a variety of health conditions. It also covers the use of music to reduce depressive symptoms and improve emotional well-being and quality of life in people with cognitive impairment or various types of dementia, such as Alzheimer’s disease. Other literature touched upon include the impact of music on Parkinson’s disease, Autism, and the side effects of Multiple Sclerosis.
