Dokumentation af MusiCure’s virkning
Skabelsen af MusiCure er baseret på mere end 10 års udvikling og forskning i den beroligende, afstressende og mentalt stimulerende virkning af denne specielt designede musik.
Udgangspunktet for skabelsen af MusiCure var forskningsprojektet Musica Humana, som fra
1998 til 2005 gennemførte studier af musikkens virkning på en række patientgrupper.
Musikken har bl.a. herigennem opnået dokumentation for sin positive effekt og anvendes i dag på mange sygehuse, klinikker, institutioner m.v. i flere lande. Eksempler på denne dokumentation kan læses i de booklets som følger med CDerne, samt downloades fra Musica Humana’s hjemmeside: www.musicahumana.org
Musikken er siden blevet afprøvet i en lang række forskningsprojekter i samarbejde med uafhængige forskere og læger, sygeplejersker og terapeuter. De kliniske studier af musikkens virkning har fundet sted på sygehuse i Danmark, Sverige, Norge og på Northwest Hospital og Medical Centre i Seattle, USA, og præsenterer resultater indenfor området ’specielt designet musik som medicin’ i sundhedsplejen.
Musica Humana projektet modtog økonomiske støtte fra Egmont Fonden i 1998. Fra 2003 blev den første CD/bog udgivelse i serien gjort tilgængelig for offentligheden gennem apotekerne i Danmark, og på www.musicure.com
