In conclusion, the experience of pain goes beyond the physical experience of pain; it contains psychological, social, and past experience components as well. The stress and limitation that result from chronic pain can lead to the development of chronic pain syndrome, which includes depression, anxiety, feelings of helplessness, frustration and anger. In such incidence, physicians often recommend psychiatric services. In this case, music therapy for the treatment of pain was analyzed.
Music therapy is a non-pharmacological method of treatment, which helps manage pain and suffering of patients with long-term, or terminal illnesses. The utilization of music for treatment purposes should be individualized with caution given to general state of mood, coping abilities, medical condition, other components that may be relevant to the patientŐs need.
