Music is an effective stress buster and a great way to ease the symptoms of chronic pain and mental anguish associated with fibromyalgia, finds a novel study.
The study found the therapeutic process of music combined with guided imagery not only reduced the chronic, widespread pain of this life-altering disorder, but also improved sleep and helped relieve stress and anxiety in patients.
Experts theorize that when patients tune in to the music, tension evaporates, freeing them of worries and concerns.
