"We know that music touches parts of our brain: The emotional centre that creates release of our body's natural opiates, for example, endorphins, enkephalins and serotonin. All of those things that are released, are triggered by auditory stimulation, and music is prime in that," said one of the co-authors of the study, Deforia Lane, from University Hospitals Seidman Cancer Centre. The music groups and controls did not differ in the amount of anaesthesia requirement needed to reach moderate sedation.
