Music is a universal human trait. The healing power of music has been acknowledged in almost all traditions of music. Music therapy is moving from a social-science model focusing on overall health and well-being towards a neuroscience model focusing on specific elements of music and its effect on sensorimotor, language and cognitive functions. The handful of evidence-based music therapy studies on psychiatric conditions have shown promising results. Traditional music, such as Indian classical music, has only recently been evaluated in evidence-based research into music therapy. The need for systematic research in this area is underscored.
音乐是人类共有的特质。几乎在所有音乐传统中，音乐的治疗力量都得到了认可。音乐疗法正从关注整体健康和幸福的社会科学模式，转向关注音乐的特定元素及其对感觉运动、语言和认知功能影响的神经科学模式。少数针对精神疾病的循证音乐疗法研究已显示出有前景的结果。传统音乐，如印度古典音乐，直到最近才在音乐疗法的循证研究中得到评估。这凸显了该领域进行系统研究 的必要性。
