Description: Engaging in musical activities, such as learning to play an instrument, has been shown to significantly enhance cognitive health, particularly by improving memory, attention, and motor skills. Research also indicates that playing music can help manage chronic pain, offering emotional and cognitive relief that distracts from discomfort while boosting mood. As a non-pharmacological alternative, music therapy can reduce reliance on pain medications like opioids. Additionally, personalizing music choices for chronic pain patients has been linked to more effective pain management by lowering physiological arousal and pain perception
