But only recently scientists trying to explain and measure the effect of music hits them at a level impressionable. The search for links between melody and the mind indicates that listening to music and play really can deteriorate how our brains and therefore our bodies, function. It seems that the healing power of music over the body and spirit, is only just beginning to be understood, even though the music therapy not? new. For many years, therapists are supporting the use of music in both audiences and studying for the reduction of anxiety and effort, the relief of pain. And the music also? been suggested as an aid to positive change in the conditions nell'umore and impressions.

In medicine, increasing published reports demonstrate that music has a healing effect on patients. "Physicians believe that hours using music therapy in hospitals and nursing homes not only makes people feel better, but also make them heal pi? quickly. And across the nation, the medical specialists are beginning to apply the new revelations about music 's effect on the brain to treat patients. In one study, researcher Michael Thaut and his team detailed how victims of stroke, the cerebral palsy and Parkinson 's disease that has worked to music took the pi? great progress pi? balanced that those in therapy had no accompaniment. Other researchers have found that the sound of drums pu? influence how bodies work. Quoted in a 2001 article in USA Today, Suzanne Hasner, chairwoman of the department of music therapy at the University of Berklee Music in Boston, says that even those with dementia or head injuries retain enable it? musical. The article reported the results of an experiment in which researchers from the center in Meadville, PA Wellness for Mind-Body., Followed 111 cancer patient who played the drums for 30 minutes a day. They found the immune systems reinforced and increased levels of cells in cancer-fighting many of the patients. "In depth? in our long-term memory? this music prepared, "Hasner said. ? proceeded at the impressionable brain, the amygdala. Here? remember where the music played at your wedding ceremony, the music of your first love, that first dance. These things can still be remembered even in people with progressive disease. Pu? be a window, a sense reach them. "Treatment of American music of complaints from organizing music therapy can? take into account "intimit? with impressionable families and carers, relaxation for the whole family and expressive past time together in a way "positive and creative;. Scientists are transforming progress in its exploration perch? music should have this effect. 2001 Dr. Anne Blood and Robert Zatorre dell'universit? McGill in Montreal, the tomography used positron emission, and scans Pet, find out if the special structures of the brain are stimulated by music. In their study, the soul and Zatorre asked 10 musicians, five men and five women, choose mixing music. The objects were then reportedly explorations Pet while they listened to four types of audio stimuli &; # 8211; the selected music, other music, general noise or silence. Each sequence? was repeated three times in random. The soul has said where the objects have heard the music that gave them the "cold," explores the ANIMAL HOME activity? detected in parts of the brain that are also stimulated by food and sex. Just because? human beings have developed such a biologically based appreciation of music not? yet clear. The appreciation of food and the drive for sex have evolved to help the survival of the species, but the music does not? developed strictly for the purpose of survival, "said soul then Associated Press. Also believe that perch? music active parts of the brain that make them happy, this suggests that it can benefit our physical and mental well-being. There? ? good news for patients who undergo surgical operations who experience anxiety in anticipation of those procedures. The Polish researcher, Zbigniew Kucharski, at the medical Warsaw, studied the effect of acoustic therapy for fear management in dental patients. During the period from October 2001 to May 2002, 38 dental patients aged between 16 and 60 years were observed. The patients received variations of acoustic therapy, a practice where music? received via headphones and also vibrators. Dr. Kucharski found that the sensitivity? negative have decreased for five patients who received 30 minutes of acoustic therapy both before and after their dental procedure. For the group that he heard and felt the music just before the operation, the sensitivity? frightening reduced only by a factor of 1.6. For the last group (control), which received acoustic therapy only during the operation, there was no change in the level of fear felt. One 1992 study identified music listening and relaxation instruction as an effective way to reduce pain and anxiety in women who suffer from the painful gynecological procedures. And other studies have shown that music can? reduce others' negative 'human emotions Gradica fear, the grief and depression. Sheri Robb and a team of researchers published a report in the journal of music therapy in 1992, describing their findings that music has helped effectively reducing the anxiety of relaxation procedures (music listening exercises, in depth and breathing more) in pediatric surgical patients on a burn unit. "Music," says Esther Mok in the AORN newspaper in February 2003, "? a tool easily administered, non-threatening, non-invasive and economical to calm anxiety. "preoperative; So far, according to the same report, researchers may not be safe perch? the music was calming influence on many medical patients. One school of thought believes that music can reduce the effort perch? pu? help patients to relax and blood pressure pi? low. Another music researcher claims allows the body 's vibrations to synchronize with the rhythms of those around it. For example, if an anxious patient with a racing heartbeat listens to slow music, her heart rate slow down? and sync? with the music 'rhythm s. These results are still something of a mystery. The Skills? incredible that music should cover and handle the emotions and the brain? undeniable, but still largely unexplained.
