Hi! I am Dr. Bruce Dan. You know over the years lots of songs and bands have talked about pain, Heartache, Sorrow, and Lost Love. There's at least one reason, the medical studies shown that no matter what kind of tune you listen to they can help the pain go away.
Researchers in Ohio conducted a study with 60 people. All of them have been suffering from painful conditions such as arthritis or disc problems for an average of six years. They divided the patients into two groups one that listen to music and one that didn't and have them report on their levels of pain.
Beforehand the participants reported that their usual pain average 6 on a 0-10 scale and their worst pain exceeded 9 out of 10. During the study the subjects listen to music on a headset for an hour or a day. Some went for instrumental, some classical, some picked any other music they liked. Everyone kept a pain diary.
The Music group said that their pain had decreased but the group deprived of music reported that their pain actually increased a bit. What's more, those sooth by music reported feeling less disabled and reported feeling more power over their pain.
So taking time for some melodies may have its benefits, a little pop, a little jazz doesn't just ease the pain, it may empower you as well. Then make sure the ear buds aren't turned up too loud. You hear it and say, thank you. Making Rounds I'm Dr. Bruce Dan.
