Effets des compositions slash mis en évidence dans l'étude PLOS ONE
Effects on pain and anxiety
Music therapy appears to have a beneficial effect on pain intensity and associated symptoms, such as insomnia. Several studies indicate significant reductions in pain after long-term therapeutic follow-up (6 to 12 months). Music can act as a means of distraction, an emotional regulator, and a self-soothing tool, particularly in the treatment of chronic pain.
Improvement in quality of life
Research reveals an improvement in physical quality of life, particularly in the PCS (Physical Component Score) of the SF-36, an instrument used to measure physical health. Patients also report a better sense of control over their pain and emotions, which positively contributes to their mental quality of life.
Role in managing beliefs and behaviors
Music therapy influences key beliefs related to pain, such as the perception of disability (measured by the SOPA-35 disability scale) and the belief that pain necessarily indicates physical injury. This treatment helps restructure these dysfunctional beliefs, allowing patients to better manage their symptoms.
Long-term effectiveness
The beneficial effects of music therapy are sustained, with visible results up to 12 months, suggesting that music therapy can have a lasting impact when part of a long-term treatment plan.
Fibromyalgia
Music therapy appears to have a notable impact on patients with fibromyalgia. In fact, 18.6% of patients in the music therapy group suffer from this condition, compared to only 11.1% in the psychoeducation/CBT group. This suggests that music therapy may be particularly beneficial for this complex and challenging condition.
Polyalgia
Music therapy is also more prevalent in the group of patients with polyalgia (30.5%), compared to other treatments where the percentages are lower (25.5% in the self-care group and 25% in the self-hypnosis/self-care group). This suggests that music therapy is a suitable therapeutic choice for this type of multiple pain.
