From the Paper:

"Benefits from music have been noted even before music therapy claimed its fame in the business realm. Today, this tool proves to be beneficial in multiple clinical settings. Today, in end-of -life care, patients, and veterans now seek for options regarding the way they will die. They routinely request services that will aid in their physical and mental comfort. Today, one viable, vital option to help reduce high blood pressure, depression, and promote more restful sleep - music therapy - can be part of the patient's positive palliative care program. Like songs on the radio, music therapy is often - available upon request."
