Music's Suiprising Power to Heal

Janet Lapp is a psychologist at California State University, she did a study to improve music has a power to heal. She found 30 people who suffered from migraine headaches for five weeks, and she put these 30 people into three groups. First group of the people listened their favourite music, second group of the people use the machine to relax themselves, last group of the people did not do anything. After five weeks, the first group of the people who listened to their music have the most effective supplemental therapy, and they continued listening for one year, their migraine were less severe and ended more quickly. This study proved that music has a power to heal.
There is another example for Michael Thaut who is the director of Colorado State University's Center for Biomedical Research in Music. He find ten people who have stroke victims, according to observed and measured their timing of  their strides with music and without music respectively, he found people who listened to the music has a large improvement, their timing of stride has more improved than those who without music. As a result, many studys can proved that music has a power to heal.
