The effects of music therapy on pain.
The findings of Bally et al.'s (2003) study failed to support the use of music therapy to decrease pain. Therefore, this research cannot be used in the group research utilization project to teach nurses the effects of music on lessening pain. A feasibility issue for teaching nurses on the effects of music would be the large sum of money it would take to educate the nurses and purchase the music and stereo equipment needed. Future research suggestions would be to include additional research participants, and to study more than two separate procedures, which are more invasive.
