Functionally oriented music therapy (FMT) in the treatment of long-term musculoskeletal pain. A qualitative observational study
FMT holds promise as a therapeutic treatment for long-term musculoskeletal pain conditions. By utilizing music as a communication method alongside body language, individuals can experience pain relief, emotional regulation, and improved quality of life. Further research and clinical application of FMT can potentially enhance the overall care and well-being of individuals living with long-term musculoskeletal pain.
