Resilience or the ability to bounce back or recover from stress and negative emotions are important for well-being. Music is a powerful, pleasurable stimulus that can induce positive well-being and promoting cognition. A combination of non-pharmaceutical interventions can produce more benefits. Several studies support the notion that physical activity can help alleviate the negative impact of age on body and mind. Research on normal and pathological aging reveal that music is an interesting and powerful means of promoting cognition, well-being and social connection in older adults. Physical exercise combined with music induces greater positive effects on cognition function, well-being and lead to neuroanatomical changes. Music and exercise cross the disciplines of bio-mechanics, neurology, physiology and sport psychology and bring social and spiritual benefits. Self-selected music elicited the greatest improvements, it offers a motivational boost, resulting in greater enjoyment and longer engagement in activity. This literature review aims to provide an overview on studies that have explored physical activity and the aging brain. And how music combined with physical activity can positively have an impact on emotional well-being of the elderly. \u0000Keywords: Music, Exercises, Well-being, Aging Brain","PeriodicalId":74233,"journal":{"name":"Music and medicine","volume":"79 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84101832","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

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.","PeriodicalId":74233,"journal":{"name":"Music and medicine","volume":"66 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89222124","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

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.

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.

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.

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.
