Abstract:
This research project aims to investigate the role of music therapy in pain management. Chronic pain affects millions of individuals worldwide, and traditional pain management approaches often have limitations and side effects. Music therapy has shown promise as a complementary and alternative approach to pain management. This study will explore the potential benefits of music therapy in reducing pain intensity, improving mood, and enhancing overall well-being. Through a combination of literature review, case studies, and quantitative analysis, this research aims to provide valuable insights into the effectiveness of music therapy as a non-pharmacological intervention for pain management.
