Complementary therapy: using music in hospital settings.

Full Abstract

The therapeutic use of music in hospitals has been explored within the context of highly specific situations. Here, the author explores the place of music in improving the general ambience of the clinical scene, and investigates the sometimes conflicting results from research into its physiological benefits to patients. Music in hospitals, he argues, is an area ripe for further exploration.
