The American Music Therapy Association (AMTA) did a study with women and the affects of music therapy while they are on their period experiencing PMS. The study shows that “music can be considered as one of the effective tool regarding alleviating unfavorable symptoms in PMS”. AMTA describes music therapy as an approach toward “maintaining, sustaining and enhancing physical and mental health status of individuals”.
Music therapy has been founded to be effective in treating levels of pain, fear, blood pressure, anxiety, depression and mood.
