Scientific Evidence
Our clinical studies have medically proven to drop psychotropic drug use by up to 53% and can reduce pain by 52% with no side effects.
Our findings have been published in more than 150 peer-reviewed journals.
Since 1999, MUSIC CARE© has been a leader in research & development on the psychological and -physiological effects of music as a clinical therapy. We have had the privilege of working with some of the most reputed research partners in the world.
Music Care enabled a 62% reduction in the dose of sedation during coronary angioplasty
MUSIC CARE© treatment can enable a 62% reduction in midazolam sedation during coronary angiography under local anesthesia. Cardiologists appreciate this technique and recommend its use to facilitate their interventions in outpatient practice. Using MUSIC CARE© can therefore reduce hospitalization costs by shortening patient stays.

Reducing pain & anxiety in cancer patients by up to 74%
MUSIC CARE© has proved to be a significant asset for oncology patients as its effects are sustained for 30 minutes after the treatment.
