What do Professionals say about music and healing?

“When the heart rate is relatively steady, and breathing is deep and slow, stress hormones decrease”, said Dr. Mitchell L. Gaynor, at Weill Medical College of Cornell University in New York and the author of "The Healing Power of Sound." That is significant, he said, because stress can depress every aspect of the immune system, "including those that protect us against flu and against cancer."
“No controlled clinical trials have been done to show that sound healing works”, said Dr. Vijay B. Vad, a sports medicine specialist at the Hospital for Special Surgery in Manhattan and a doctor for the P.G.A. Tour. “But those who try sound healing may feel their pain diminish, because pain is notoriously subjective”, Dr. Vad said.
“Sound healing, like other mind-body treatments, he said, could act as a placebo, or it may distract the mind, breaking a stress cycle.” "Even if it breaks your cycle for 15 minutes, that's sometimes enough to have a therapeutic effect," Dr. Vad said.
“Sound healing works like the cry you make when you stub your toe”,
said Jonathan Goldman, the director of the Sound Healers Association in
Boulder, and the author of "Healing Sounds: The Power of Harmonics." "Have
you ever been able to stub your toe and not make a sound?" he asked. "It
hurts a lot more."

The Mayo Clinic initiated the “Healing Enhancement Program” for
heart surgery patients, offering music and guided imagery. Dr. Thoralf Sundt,
said alternative services are outside of the realm of what surgeons are
typically taught in medical school. “We tend to always want to see
the evidence,” said Dr. Sundt. “But we quickly could see the
benefits to our patients and that is the bottom line for us.”
