Dokumentation af MusiCure's virkning


Mere end 20 års udvikling og studiet af resultater fra forskning med denne musik udgør fundamentet for skabelsen af MusiCure, og musikken anvendes i dag i en lang række forskellige typer af behandling og forskningsprojekter i mange lande.
Indenfor de seneste år har MusiCure Naturfilm også indgået som stimulation i videnskabelige studier med børn efter dagkirurgi på Odense Universitetshospital, med meget positive resultater og som skabelse af et positivt og livsbekræftende miljø under opvågning efter operation på samme hospital.

 

Internationalt publicerede forskningsartikler

Siden 2003 har uafhængige forskere og professionelle behandlere fra flere lande gennemført medicinske studier med MusiCure. Resultaterne af disse studier og kontrollerede forsøg findes i dag publiceret i flere internationale medicinske tidsskrifter, bl.a.: Heart & Lung – The journal of Acute and Critical Care, European journal of Cardiovascular Nursing, Intensive and Critical Care Nursing, Pediatric Anesthesia m.fl.
 

De publicerede forskningsresultater med anvendelse af MusiCure musikken viser:

 
1. Signifikant reduktion af Stress, angst og smerte
2. Nedsættelse af medicinforbrug (PN medicin, Morfin)
3. Sænkning af cortisolniveau (stresshormon)
4. Stigning i oxytocinniveau (”fredshormon”)
5. Generelt - forøget følelse af ro, motivation og inspiration
 
Forskning i musikkens virkning er gennemført med kontrolgrupper og omfatter både kvantitative og kvalitative studier, subjektive spørgeskema- og interviewundersøgelser, samt rent fysiologiske målinger på patienterne.
