Authors' objectives:
To assess the available evidence on the efficacy, safety and coverage related aspects regarding the use of music therapy in clinical practice.
Authors' recommendations:
The evidence on music therapy effects varies for the different indications, but in general it is of high methodological quality and comes from systematic reviews and RCTs. Small beneficial effects of music therapy are pointed out, mainly a slight decrease in anxiety in patients with dementia, schizophrenia and oncology patients. For other indications such as depression or during surgical and diagnostic procedures there is not enough evidence to support its benefits and larger scale, standardized studies would be required.
