Is Music a Medicine?
Arts in Health is a very popular concept that includes Music Medicine; that is, the applications of music and music therapy in hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, or rehabilitation centers that focus on somatic health and/or cognitive issues.
Music in the hospital has proven to support relaxation, reduce sedation medication and distract attention during medical procedures, manage pain, and improve patient satisfaction. Music Medicine is usually short-term treatment and does not rely on therapeutic relationship.
Music can heal the wounds which medicine cannot touch.
