While ancient in origin, the therapeutic application of sound is increasingly subject to modern scientific scrutiny, with research focusing on measurable physiological and psychological changes.

• Objective Measurement: Studies utilize tools like Electroencephalography (EEG) to confirm the shift in brainwave patterns during sound exposure and measure changes in Heart Rate Variability (HRV)—a key indicator of nervous system resilience and relaxation.

• Hormonal Impact: Research has demonstrated that listening to therapeutic music or engaging in sound practices can lead to a measurable decrease in the stress hormone cortisol and an increase in beneficial neurotransmitters like endorphins and dopamine.

• Clinical Integration: Music therapy, a formalized discipline that utilizes sound elements (rhythm, melody, harmony) and activities (singing, songwriting), has become a standard offering in many hospitals, rehabilitation centers, and oncology units to manage anxiety, pain, and emotional trauma.

• Future Directions: The current research effort is directed at establishing definitive, standardized protocols. Scientists are working to isolate which specific frequencies (e.g., 40…
