Abstract

The use of music as a therapeutic agent and as an essential part of healing practices and rituals can be traced back to Ancient Greece where they were the first to use music scientifically and systematically as an intervention. Today, there is a wealth of literature on the impact that music can have on a person's physiological, emotional, social and spiritual well-being. This session will examine the empirical evidence of music as an intervention to relieve and manage acute and chronic pain.
