Music makes your meds more effective

by Sally Schroder

There’s nothing like hearing your favorite song to turn your day around. Now there’s proof that listening to music can make your meds more effective.

A new study at Michigan State University included observing chemo patients. They agreed to listen to their favorite songs for 30 minutes, every time they felt nauseous over a five day period. Serotonin is to blame for feeling sick and cancer patients medicate to block those effects.

Assistant professor Jason Kiernan says, “Music listening interventions are like over-the-counter medications. A doctor can prescribe them, but you can also get them at the drug store yourself.”
