MUSE describes creative and supportive services, not clinical music therapy or a treatment for dementia.
Gentle breathing, meditation, humming and listening, guided at a comfortable pace. Join in, remain quiet or rest. Sessions follow the participant's comfort; speaking, silence and rest are equally welcome.
Meaningful songs, rhythm and small gestures invite connection beyond daily care tasks. A MUSE facilitator guides the exchange so either person can begin, respond or simply receive.
Responsive live music, familiar songs, voice and quiet companionship during illness, change or the end of life. Family members can sing, hum, share a memory or rest together. Visits follow the person's wishes and fit around care, comfort and rest. MUSE also offers a Bedside Music Visit within the Senior Program.
Gentle breathing stays comfortable, without forced breaths or breath-holding. Ordinary breathing and stopping are always options.
12 randomized trials, 785 adults: breathwork was linked to a small-to-moderate reduction in self-reported stress. Most studies had moderate risk of bias.
84 palliative-care patients: two clinical music-therapy sessions improved relaxation and well-being versus spoken relaxation; pain did not improve more.
These findings concern other interventions, not validated MUSE outcomes. See the five studies and their limits.
