Confusion frequently exists around the various uses of music for health and wellbeing, and the roles of different agents using music for health benefits. This confusion is often based on a lack of definition and understanding of the many different applications and how they can fit together with training and experience. Our Music, Health and Wellbeing Continuum Model has been collaboratively developed at Western Sydney University, Australia, to incorporate the many uses of music for health benefits across a broad spectrum of roles, agents and applications. This ranges from environmental and personal through to community, health practitioners and qualified music therapists. This article outlines and identifies the many different roles within this Continuum, providing examples and evidence of how this conceptual framework can contribute to and support everyday practice around the uses of music and music therapy to improve health and wellbeing for clients and patients. We extend this into systematic feedback from Key Informants with discussions of applications and a further Annexe to delineate the potential multiple roles of each individual. Consequently, we propose that our entire Model contributes to increased understanding of the many roles and agents using music for health and wellbeing benefits in our community.

With increasing recognition of the benefits of complementary therapies, they are being more widely applied in many healthcare settings. This includes pediatric palliative care, wherein patients have a unique set of needs, best addressed through a family-centered interdisciplinary model. Music therapy and massage therapy fit well within this model. These authors contend the benefits of these therapies are enhanced when combined in co-treatment, as outlined in this case presentation of one pediatric palliative care patient, initially treated separately, and then in co-treatment by music and massage therapies. Perceived benefits of the co-treatment included enhanced quality of life through symptom management, engagement in a meaningful activity, and family support, as well as promotion of a defined therapy space, and increased opportunities for social interaction. Further research is needed to build a generalizable, evidence-based body of knowledge to support this type of co-treatment.

Patients with an LDL-C ≥ 190mg/dL benefit from a healthy lifestyle and use of medications to lower their risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) events. Change in autonomous motivation and perceived competence are viable targets for reducing CVD risk according to Self-Determination Theory. A pilot randomized controlled trial of music therapy for 31 very high LDL-C subjects found no between 1 or 2 session group different effects on motivation, LDL-C or non-HDL-C. Perceived competence for healthy lifestyle significantly increased (p<0.05), mean LDL-C decreased from 131 to 87 mg/dL (p<0.0005), and mean non-HDL-C decreased from 155 to 113 mg/dL (p=0.001) after music therapy in all participants. An increase in autonomous motivation for medication use predicted a in the change in LDL-C (p<0.05). Music therapy may enhance motivation for reducing CVD risk. Autonomous motivation for medication use and perceived competence for lifestyle change may be useful targets of future interventions for high cholesterol.

In mid-2018, the authors[1] were contracted by the YYZ Foundation[2] to create a new collection of intercultural recordings designed to support palliative care patients and their caregivers. At the onset of this project, a commitment was made to not only create the musical recordings but also a pre-production and research process that would foster an equitable and meaningful intercultural collaboration. It is this process that will be explored in detail in this paper. The authors propose that this process could help to inspire further equitable and inclusive intercultural collaborative practices in both musical and non-musical settings such as health care as several aspects of this collaborative process may be useful for other initiatives that require cultural sensitivity and intercultural collaboration.

Music therapy has been shown to be effective in hospitalized patients, reducing the level of stress and anxiety, lowering tension, regulating breathing and relieving pain. However, despite the fact that there are many precedents of this type in palliative care, the quality of the evidence is low. The present research seeks to determine whether a single responsive music therapy intervention combined with virtual reality (RMT+VR) reduces prevalent symptoms and improves their overall well-being in hospitalized adult patients with advanced oncologic disease receiving palliative care. This is a prospective study of a randomized clinical trial with a control group. The main variables are pain, exhaustion, drowsiness, nausea, loss of appetite, dyspnea, depression, anxiety, sleep and well-being as well as heart rate. The duration of the study will be 48 hours. After signing the informed consent, patients will be randomized on the first day receiving RMT+VR, or no intervention at all. The variables will be measured on three occasions, before and after each condition, and 24 hours later.

The clinical report briefly highlights the significant issue of pain comorbid with dementia in older adults. Pain manifests in a variety of behaviours such as anxiety and agitation; and pharmaceuticals which are the principal treatment approach often do not fully eliminate or provide effective or complete pain management. Music based interventions (MBIs) and music therapy have been used with older adults as treatment options for pain and the behavioural and psychological symptoms (BPSD) of dementia for decades. Increasingly more researchers are writing about how caregivers can utilize MBIs including music therapy in a comprehensive treatment approach for those with dementia to manage BPSD symptoms including pain. This paper presents the case example of ‘Suyen’ to illuminate how MBIs and music therapy were included in a comprehensive music based approach for pain and overall wellness in an older adult with dementia and multiple health conditions.

Pain is often defined by its symptomatology and etiology. Unrelieved pain can negatively impact every area of an individual’s life, including personal relationships, employment, and one’s involvement in social activities. Unrelieved pain may induce fear, anxiety, and depression. Disease management includes the evaluation of pain. Scoring levels of pain frequently is a required measurement listed prominently on the patient bedside flowchart. Evaluating pain is a required appraised and evaluated inquiry- the outcomes of which influences the most pertinent domains of health and healing. As recouperation and discharge planning are so often at the forefront of hospitalists’ thinking, at times the nuances of how pain is evaluated in the quest to find and extinguish associated influences may be lost in the shuffle of a desired immediacy for change. Subtleties that lead toward resulting exacerbations may result from clinician haste. This article presents an overview of the critical elements that are significant to address when considering music therapy applications for the treatment of pain in patients of all ages and diagnoses.

Research on the role of music and music therapy conducted for several decades reflect a dearth of literature on the health and well-being benefits of music-based and music therapy interventions for people living with chronic pain. To support advances of research on music therapy for chronic pain, the authors met regularly as members of a Special Interest Group on music, music therapy and chronic pain. The authors, from five different countries, representing the perspectives of music therapy, community music, pain medicine, and service user, discussed theoretical and methodological issues to be addressed in future studies. This article summarizes our collective thoughts in relation to priority questions for future research in music therapy and chronic pain, ethical challenges, research methods, practice techniques and future priority areas. The article sets an agenda for high quality research and practice for music therapy in the treatment and care of people living with chronic pain.

Chronic pain in the paediatric population is a complex and multi-faceted condition. Prevalent types of chronic pain reported in childhood include headaches, visceral pain and musculoskeletal pain. The purpose of this scoping review was to discover what is known from current literature about the effectiveness of music therapy used as a therapeutic intervention for children with chronic pain. The Arksey & O’Malley scoping review methodological framework and the guidance for conducting systematic scoping reviews provided by the Joanna Briggs Institute were followed to conduct this review. A total of five publications were included in this review. Texts discuss music therapy interventions and the current geographical locations where music therapy is incorporated into integrative medicine and rehabilitation programmes for paediatric chronic pain. All studies encourage further research within the area. Several gaps have been outlined that allude to further research of music therapy and/or music medicine for paediatric chronic pain internationally and the effectiveness of group music therapy as an intervention for the treatment paediatric chronic pain.
