As a medicine, music can help prevent pain, anxiety and confusion surrounding surgery. The medical magic of music is being researched at Erasmus UMC by a group of five physician-researchers. During De Nacht van NTR we talk about this with one of those researchers, Thomas Dirven.
What music really works is different for everyone. But how do you research that effect? And can music really work as a medicine against pain or delirium? We talk about this with Thomas Dirven for an hour.
