About this listen

Story at-a-glance
  • Music therapy is recognized as a medically effective intervention for various conditions including stroke, brain injury, Parkinson's and dementia; it helps restore speech, improve movement and reduce anxiety
  • Research shows surgical patients exposed to music before and after operations need fewer painkillers, experience less anxiety and report better overall recovery outcomes
  • Music engages multiple brain regions simultaneously, creating a "whole-brain" stimulation that conventional therapies don’t achieve, making it especially valuable for rehabilitation
  • Music therapy works by regulating your autonomic nervous system, lowering cortisol levels, reducing inflammation and promoting faster healing without pharmaceutical side effects
  • Creating personalized playlists for different emotional states and practicing mindful listening helps harness music's powerful neurological effects for emotional and physical wellness
