Abstract
The increase in communicable diseases justifies the need to verify the non-pharmacological efficacy of alternative treatments. Music promotes social interactions and group work, helps in various aspects of human learning, emotion, and memory, and can become a complementary therapeutic tool. This study aimed to analyse the efficacy of music therapy as a non-pharmacological treatment through a retrospective descriptive design using as search parameters: “music therapy” or “music programs” and “health” in the Scopus and Web of Science databases. Among the main results, we highlight that the intervention programs that use music as an adjunctive non-pharmacological treatment in non-communicable diseases offer positive and significant results on the improvement of the pathologies in which it intervenes. Based on these results, it would be important to expand the training of health professionals in the application of techniques based on art and specifically in music therapy.
