I have been listening to the music of music2work2 for a long time. Being a friend of the composer/performer, I was listening to it long before the music2 work2.com venture began. I have used it as background music while doing all sorts of things - working at the computer, cooking, playing Scrabble, writing documents, and even recently used it to calm down after hours of a very frustrating and anger producing session with a companies' technical support in trying to get a new phone system set up.
Yesterday, I had another of my many migraines. Any change in weather causes me to have one for the past couple of years. Preventive medication only partially works and medication that I have been prescribed to take for the migraine often doesn't work as well as it should and has to be taken a second time. So, I decided to test the benefit of music on a migraine. Ordinarily sound, light and movement increases the pain for me.
There are many articles dealing with studies that show that music is beneficial for relieving pain following surgery, or has other medical benefits. I can now attest to the fact that music2work2 music does have a beneficial effect on my migraines. The music playing softly helped me relax; I only had to take the medication one time to get relief from the pain; and the time waiting for the medication to take effect was more pleasant.
I will definitely try this again with my next migraine, but I do feel that music2work2 sessions playing softly in the background made a difference in this one.
