A clinical study found that listening to specially designed music with auditory stimulation can significantly reduce anxiety. Of the several listening lengths tested, the 24-minute session yielded the greatest benefits. This session alleviated both the mental and physical symptoms of anxiety. The results suggest that there is an ideal "dose" of therapeutic music. This dosage works quickly and does not require long listening. The study thus confirms the positive effect of specific music on anxiety.
