We explain the effects you can expect from using "healing music" as background music in hospitals and what to look for when choosing music!

By playing "healing music" as background music in the hospital, it is expected that both patients and doctors will be able to relax, allowing both to concentrate on the examination.

Also, even within the same hospital, it is recommended to select music that is appropriate for each location, such as anime songs or music for the pediatrics department, classical music or music boxes for the waiting room, and nature sounds for the obstetrics and gynecology department. We will explain the expected effects and details of each.

Playing healing music as background music in the hospital helps patients relax and doctors concentrate on their examinations.


The background music in shops and facilities has various meanings and effects depending on the song, and the same is true for background music in hospitals.

Patients who visit the hospital are there with some kind of symptom, so they tend to feel a little nervous before their examination.

By playing healing music as background music, patients can be relieved of tension and can be expected to be in a relaxed state during the examination. Also, by having patients relax, doctors can concentrate more on the examination.

Healing music, which is expected to have a "concentration" effect, is also used as background music during surgery!

This healing music is used in hospitals, but it can also be used as background music during surgery.

In surgery under local anesthesia, the patient is conscious, so the surgery itself can be quite stressful for the doctor as well. Therefore, by playing healing music as background music, the patient can be relaxed during the surgery.

Furthermore, healing music also reduces stress for doctors, making it ideal as background music in the operating room.

Healing music reduces patient anxiety and has a pain-relieving effect

Healing music often contains 1/f fluctuations, which can help relax patients. [Note 1]

Healing music is said to reduce patients' anxiety, allowing them to relax during their consultation, and also has a pain-relieving effect.

Recommended background music for hospitals is classical or healing music.

If you are planning to play background music in a hospital, classical or healing music is recommended. Healing music will help patients calm down before their examination and allow them to approach the examination in a relaxed manner.

Next, we will explain in detail the effects of healing music.

Classical music improves concentration

Classical music is said to increase concentration, so playing classical music to help not only patients but also doctors and nurses concentrate on their work is expected to increase efficiency within the hospital.

Increasing efficiency within the clinic will further reduce the stress patients experience while waiting to be seen.

The effect of healing music is relaxation of the mind and body

Healing music can promote relaxation of the mind and body through the aforementioned "1/f fluctuation" effect.

It has also been confirmed that "1/f fluctuation" produces brain waves called "alpha waves," which are produced when you are relaxed.

Many people have probably experienced a sense of relaxation and relaxation when listening to healing music played at beauty salons, spas, and other relaxation salons.

This was due not only to the relaxation effect, but also to the influence of healing music on "alpha waves."

Varying the music selection makes waiting time feel shorter


For example, playing soothing music in the waiting room can help relieve the stress of waiting for patients and make the wait feel shorter.

Patients who are forced to wait while feeling unwell feel more or less stressed, but by playing soothing music in the background in the waiting room, it is possible to make the wait feel shorter.

Anime songs and nursery rhymes are recommended for pediatrics

For pediatrics, we recommend songs that include popular anime songs or nursery rhymes.
Children are feeling unwell and anxious about the examination, and tend to feel more unstable than adults, so playing nursery rhymes or anime songs that they are familiar with on a daily basis can help relieve their anxiety.



A child's poor health can make parents tired and anxious, so if a child who is unwell can relax even a little, it will also help calm the parents' minds.

Classical music and music boxes are recommended for waiting rooms.

The gentle melody of a music box can calm the mind just by listening to it, so we recommend this music box for waiting rooms where anxious patients can come to the hospital and wait for their appointments.

Classical music is also a good choice. It is said that up-tempo classical music also has the effect of making waiting time seem shorter.

For obstetrics and gynecology departments, natural sounds such as the murmuring of a river and the chirping of birds are recommended.


In obstetrics and gynecology, we recommend using natural sounds such as the sound of a babbling brook or birds chirping.

These sounds can help pregnant women, who tend to be under a lot of stress, relax and feel gentle, and are also good for prenatal education.

Listening to the sounds of nature can help reduce anxiety and stress.

Healing music is recommended for hospital background music

Healing music has the effect of relaxing the mind and body and relieving stress, so it is recommended as background music in hospitals.

By relaxing both the patient and the doctor, the examination will be more effective.

Experimental results have shown that the relaxing effect of music varies depending on the tempo, so why not try finding your favorite healing music? [Note 2] Chuo University: Study on the relaxing effect of different music tempos on listeners [pdf]
