Music Proven to Aid Post-Surgery Recovery

Listening to music reduces pain, anxiety, and opioid use, according to a new meta-analysis presented at a major medical congress.

Researchers from California Northstate University analyzed 35 studies on music's impact on surgery recovery.
Patients who listened to music reported lower pain levels and required less morphine compared to those who did not.
Music was shown to reduce anxiety and heart rate, potentially improving overall recovery outcomes.
The study suggests music may lower cortisol levels, contributing to its calming effects during post-surgery recovery.
Future research is needed to further explore music's role in recovery, with potential pilot programs in post-surgical settings.
