The Uses of Music Therapy
Individuals utilize numerous aspects of music to benefit others or themselves; recently, individuals use active listening to music as a form of therapy to aid clinical treatments. Such treatment ranges from treating mental illnesses to improving conditions in residential homes to ameliorating physiological conditions after hospitalization. Music therapy remains one of the most popular treatment for depression and depressive symptoms. Certain schools who utilize music therapy programs see a decreasing percentage of depressive symptoms in their halls. Depressive symptoms drop dramatically in the high schools and junior high schools nearby Texas Tech University; Using the Beck Depression Inventory, the treatment group’s …show more content…
Individuals tend to have an accelerated or serene recovery, or in certain cases a more tranquil passing. The Ovidius University Annals Series Physical Education and Sport/Science, Movement and Health Journal reports the rapid recovery of young adults after hospitalization of CVA (cerebrovascular accident) (Victoria et al.). Any form of music intervention contributes to a more rapid recovery after strokes such as CVA, in which the incorporation of music leads to a more positive effect on the upper limbs in comparison to regular therapy without music intervention. Receptive music therapy contributes to a more speedy and precision recovery with a more smooth movement in limbs with patients who have suffered …show more content…
Multiple researches and studies have concluded the significant relationship between an improvement in memory, induced mental imaging, and a sharpened mental focus with the implementation of a receptive music therapy session (Hsu et al., Lepke-Sims). Receptive music therapy has effectiveness in relaxing the patients as studies have shown, time and time again, the physiological responses tied to relaxation; receptive music therapy has correlations with the reduction of blood pressure, muscular tension, and perceived pain. It has relations with the stabilization of heart rate, endorphin levels, and brain waves, as well as improvement towards immune systems and body movements (Lepke-Sims). PLOS ONE, a peer reviewed scientific journal by the Public Library of Science, has further reveal the significant physiological effects of receptive music therapy; it dramatically reduces stress in aspects of the endocrine and autonomic domains, though emotional and cognitive domains also have a psychological role. Cortisol concentration in the saliva has the most significantly highest values in relaxing music in comparison to other forms, with a statistical significance of p=0.025 (Thoma). Music listening impacts the psychobiological stress systems, and, evidently, these numerous physiological responses of
