Nagging, gnawing pain can grind anyone down. But now there's scientific evidence that the right kind of music can pick you up, easing discomfort and lifting your spirits. What's the "right" kind? Anything you like -- relaxing sounds, classic rock, edgier beats, whatever sounds good to your inner spirit is good for your body, too: http://www.realage.com/news_features/tip.aspx?v=1&cid=17158.
Music can significantly impact your blood pressure and heart and respiratory rates, as well as your soul. Not surprisingly, music with a fast beat excites, while slow rhythms soothe. But nothing is as relaxing as silence. Researchers found that even after listening to the mellowest music, a pause from the surrounding sound produced the most relaxation, even more than 5 minutes of quiet meditation: http://www.realage.com/news_features/tip.aspx?v=1&cid=16850.

In the 1960s and '70s jazz drummer Milford Graves played with Albert Ayler, Paul Bley and others in the New York avant-garde. These days he's still a musician, but he also spends a great deal of time exploring how music can help heal the human heart. Some doctors say the research Graves is doing in his basement in Queens is just as significant as work being done in medical laboratories.
