Organ Playing Aids Physical & Mental Healing
The recent 'Journal of Advanced Nursing' study suggests that
adult patients suffering from chronic pain reported less pain,
depression, and disability and felt more empowered after spending a
week listening to one hour of music each day. The patients studied -
average age 50 - had all been suffering from a variety of
painful conditions such as osteoarthritis, disc problems, and
rheumatoid arthritis, for an average of six and a half years.
Types of Music that May Reduce Pain
Regardless of the type of music they listened to, the patients, on
average, reported a reduction in pain of as much as 20%, as well as
a reduction in symptoms of depression of 25%.

*Our results show that listening
to music had a statistically significant effect on the two
experimental groups, reducing pain, depression, and disability, and
increasing feelings of power,” explains nurse researcher Dr. Sandra
L. Siedlecki from the Cleveland Clinic Foundation, Ohio.
