Music and the Brain
音乐与大脑
Hospitals employ many therapeutic4 methods. In addition to medication, thereare interventions6 like massage7 therapy and hypnosis. Music therapy is alsogrowing in popularity. Sandra Siedliecki is a Senior Scientist at the NursingInstitute of Cleveland Clinic in Ohio. She says music is a low cost treatment.
医院聘用了大量的治疗方法。除了用药外，thereare干预措施像按摩疗法和催眠。音乐疗法是alsogrowing受欢迎。桑德拉Siedliecki是在克利夫兰诊所在俄亥俄州的NursingInstitute资深科学家。她说，音乐是一种低成本的治疗。
“There’s a couple of reasons for music. One - it’s very inexpensive.”
“有几个原因的音乐。一 - 这是非常便宜的。“
And she says scientists have done a lot of research on music’s effect on pain.
她说，科学家们已经做了很多关于疼痛的音乐的影响的研究。
“Especially, Dr. Marian Good who did an awful lot on acute pain and music. She did a lot of studies looking at abdominal8 surgery patients and the use ofmusic.”
“特别是，博士玛丽安好谁对急性疼痛和音乐做了一个可怕的很多。她做了很多研究着眼于腹部手术的患者和使用ofmusic。“
In those studies, as in many others, patients listened to relaxing music likethis.
在这些研究中，在许多其他国家，病人听轻松的音乐像是这样：LikeThis。
Dr. Good found that her surgery patients took fewer pain drugs when theylistened to music. Dr. Siedliecki says taking fewer drugs is helpful becausethe side effects linked to pain medicines can outweigh9 their value.
好医生发现，她的手术患者减少了疼痛的药物时theylistened音乐。Siedliecki博士说，服用少量药物是有帮助的becausethe副作用挂止痛药物中都可以超过他们的价值。
“You get to the point where one more pill and the side effects aren’t quiteworth it.”
“你得到的地步，多一个药丸和副作用，不会quiteworth吧。”
Dr. Good’s study looked at short-term pain. However, chronic10 pain, the kindthat just will not go away, is also a common problem.
好博士的研究着眼于短期的痛苦。然而，慢性疼痛，在kindthat只是不会消失，也是一个常见的问题。
“People with chronic pain feel powerless. They’ve already tried everything. There’s no choices left, so they feel powerless to do anything that’s going tomake it better.”
“患有慢性疼痛感到力不从心。他们已经尝试了一切。有没有选择离开，所以他们感到无力做任何事情，最好去tomake吧。“
Dr. Siedliecki was looking at ways to treat that sense of powerlessness, aswell as patients’ depression, disability, and pain.
Siedliecki博士一直在寻找方法来治疗无力感这个意义上说，藏汉作为患者的抑郁症，残疾和疼痛。
Dr. Linda Chlan was studying something else. She was not interested inpatients’ pain, but instead their anxiety or extreme worry.
琳达Chlan博士正在研究别的东西。她不感兴趣住院的痛苦，而是他们的焦虑或极度忧虑。
Dr. Chlan is a Professor of Symptom Management Research in the NursingSchool at Ohio State University. She has spent a lot of time with people whoare in the hospital because their anxiety is so great that they cannot breathe. People with this condition often have to use breathing machines. Dr. Chlansays that sometimes medication does little to ease their condition.
Chlan博士是症状管理研究中的NursingSchool教授在俄亥俄州立大学。她花了很多时间与在医院的人whoare，因为他们的焦虑是如此之大，他们无法呼吸。人们有这种情况往往需要使用呼吸机。博士Chlansays，有时用药不小，以减轻他们的病情。
“I was always struck by the profound distress11 that these patients experienceregardless of the amount of medications that we gave them.”
“我总是击中了深刻的痛苦，这些患者experienceregardless药物，我们给他们的数额。”
It was not just that the medicines did not work. Sometimes they made thingsworse.
这不只是该药物没有工作。有时他们做thingsworse。
“Sometimes they would get more anxious and more anxious.”
“有时候，他们会得到更多的焦虑和更着急。”
And just as in the case of Dr. Siedliecki’s pain patients, the drugs the anxietypatients were taking have unwanted side effects.
而且，正如在Siedliecki博士的疼痛的患者的情况下，药物的anxietypatients服用有有害的副作用。
“We had two primary aims of this study: To reduce anxiety as well as sedativeexposure. If they can control a non-pharmacological intervention5 in the form ofrelaxing, preferred music, can that have a beneficial effect?”
“我们这项研究的两个主要目的：为了减少焦虑和sedativeexposure。如果他们能控制的形式ofrelaxing非药物干预，首选的音乐，可以有一个有利的影响？“
Dr. Chlan had nurses remind patients that music was another choice to easetheir symptoms. They also placed signs near the patients’ beds.
Chlan博士有护士提醒患者，音乐是另一种选择easetheir症状。他们还放在靠近病人的病床迹象。
“Listen to your music at least twice today.”
“今天听你的音乐至少两次。”
Another group in Dr. Chlan’s study used noise-cancelling headphones with nomusic. A third group received standard care.
另一组在Chlan博士的研究中使用的降噪耳机与nomusic。第三组接受标准治疗。
Dr. Siedliecki’s study also had three groups. One group listened to musicfrom past studies. Another group was able to pick its own music. The thirdgroup received traditional treatment. Dr. Siedliecki says the results werepositive in both studies.
Siedliecki博士的研究也有三组。一组听取了musicfrom过去的研究。另一组是能够选择自己的音乐。该thirdgroup接受传统的治疗方法。Siedliecki博士说，结果werepositive在这两项研究。
“When you look at it overall, power, pain, depression and disability as a groupimproved in the music groups.”
“当你看它的整体，电力，疼痛，抑郁和残疾的groupimproved的音乐团体。”
Dr. Chlan’s study looked to decrease the intensity12 of the drugs people had totake and how often they took them. She also found that music worked.
Chlan博士的研究观察，以减少药物的人有卡米尔和多久，他们把他们的强度。她还发现，音乐工作。
The people who listened to music needed fewer doses and had a 36 percentreduction in the intensity or the amount of medication they received. Inaddition, their anxiety decreased by about 36 percent. Both doctors hadsimilar explanations for why music was so successful.
谁听音乐的人需要更少的剂量，并有36percentreduction在强度或他们收到服药量。Inaddition，他们的焦虑减少了约36％。无论医生hadsimilar解释为什么音乐是如此的成功。
“Music operates on many levels. It can be a very powerful distractor in thebrain, where we’re listening to something that is pleasing and then it interruptsstressful thoughts.”
“音乐工作在许多层面上。它可以是一个非常强大的牵引在thebrain，我们在听的东西是赏心悦目，然后interruptsstressful的想法。“
“Music can be a distraction13. And if you’re doing something you enjoy, timeseems to go by faster.”
“音乐可以是一个分心。如果你正在做自己喜欢的事情，timeseems去的更快。“
These doctors seem to agree with a line from the old Bob Marley song, “Trenchtown Rock.” It says “one good thing about music, when it hits you,you feel no pain.”
这些医生似乎同意从老鲍勃·马利的歌，一条线“Trenchtown摇滚。”它说：“关于音乐的一个好处，当它击中你，你感觉不到疼痛。”
