People with dementia may experience problems with language, however, the ability to sing is often preserved along with knowledge of song lyrics learnt in their earlier years (Bannan and Montgomery-Smith, 2008). Music therapy promotes engagement and interaction between a group using musical instruments and the voice. Music therapy encourages verbal and non-verbal expression, cognitive stimulation and listening skills and does not require any previous musical knowledge or skill.

Music therapy is a psychosocial intervention and supports traditional treatments. In this respect, it is a non-pharmacological treatment method used for treating health-related problems. Many researchers have suggested that music has a soothing effect on concern and anxiety (Candan Ersanlı Kaya, 2017; García González et al., 2018; Kocabaş & Khorshid, 2012; Nayak et al., 2014; Oh et al., 2016). In this study researchers reveal, average number of fetal movements was found to be 9.08 ± 3.84 in the music group and 5.22 ± 2.66 in the control group, it was determined that the pregnant women in the music group had positive emotions during the NST procedure, in terms of moods such as feeling happy and relaxed. In another study examining the effect of music on NST and pregnant woman’s anxiety, researchers reveal also stated that pregnant women in the music group had more positive emotions than those in the control group (Şimşek Küçükkelepçe & Timur Taşhan, 2018). In addition, this could be associated with the fact that number of fetal movements was higher in the music group and thus pregnant women feel the fetal movement and relieved.

Researchers planned this randomized controlled trial to determine the maternal, fetal, and neonatal results of music therapy applied to pregnant women in the last trimester. With the application of music therapy to pregnant women, it is aimed to control the anxiety experienced in the last trimester of pregnancy and to prevent maternal, fetal, and neonatal complications that may occur during pregnancy, labor, and the postpartum period. Thus, cost-effective solutions such as shortening the duration of hospital stay and establishing an effective and efficient mother-infant relationship will be provided. Music therapy is an inexpensive, effective, and easily accessible application. Music therapy application in obstetric care can be used as an effective tool in preventing complications that may occur due to anxiety.
This Lyrical Life: Music Therapy in Oncology
Published in Oncology Issues, 2021
It is common to think of music therapy as a tool for relaxation when listening to specific music. Treatment often includes methods for mood modification, relaxation, or for uplifting and can be adjusted as the situation demands. Music-assisted relaxation techniques are used to address multiple symptoms while the patient engages in minimal physical involvement (other than listening to live music and responding to prompts). Since the intervention does not rely on a recording, this affords the music therapist the opportunity to adjust based on patients’ response in real time. For example, a music therapist will slow the music’s tempo down to reflect a slowing respiratory rate. Table 1 (page 20) and Table 2 (page 20) provide examples of music therapy interventions for oncology along with the symptoms typically treated. Note that this list does not include all interventions, but those that are most frequently used in the oncology setting.
