| Abstract | A multitude of clinical trials measuring hemodynamic and psychological parameters have shown the beneficial effects of music on health. However, there is no clear instruction about how to utilize the potential benefits of music to improve health outcomes. Moreover, whether the effect of music is transient, or enduring has yet to be determined. To address the effect of music on vital parameters and emotional well-being of patients, we provide an overview of methods and findings of some studies which have evaluated the physiologic or psychological impacts of music. This review will lend a proposed model to foster an individualized approach that can examine the therapeutic effects of music. |
