“…In fact, there are a few studies reporting that the musical stimulation, particularly the "Mozart effect" of the K448 sonata for two pianos, is able to decrease both interictal EEG discharges [1][2][3] and recurrence of clinical seizures [4][5][6][7][8].…”

“…As to the interictal discharges, there is some evidence for the particular responsiveness of generalized and central spike-and-wave discharges to music therapy [3], with an effect that persists even after discontinuing music stimulation ("carryover effect" according to Lin et al [2]). …”

“…With respect to clinical seizures, there is only a randomized controlled trial [8] in adults with epilepsy and neurological disorders, and there are a few other small studies in children and adolescents with several forms of epilepsy (particularly idiopathic), with protocols differing for duration and kind of musical stimulation (especially Mozart K448 for 2 pianos) and length of follow-up [3,4,8,9].…”

“…Lin C and colleagues have demonstrated in their studies, the definitive role of music in reducing the recurrence of childhood epilepsies by reducing the epileptiform discharges [32]. The antiepileptic effect of Mozart's sonata was been earlier shown by group of scientists from Taiwan [33].…”

Music has been intricately linked to humanity since times immemorial. Initially believed to be a pleasurable activity, there has been a paradigm shift in understanding of this mysterious entity. During ancient times music was thought to enhance ones physical, mental, spiritual and social health. This applied also to unborn child as is evident in the garbhasanskaras from ancient Indian texts. Last decade has witnessed fierce research in providing objective validation of this age old myth. Researchers have concluded that in addition to providing neural entertainment, music also has restorative and healing powers. So impressive are the results that a new branch of therapeutics has emerged called Neurologic Music Therapy. Reviewing the current body of evidence, an attempt has been made to get to the origin of music and trace its evolution and entry into therapeutics from the perspective of Neurosciences. In spite of scientifically tempered enthusiasm and technological back up there are many questions which remain unanswered. The Indian Music Industry which is currently worth 10 Billion Rupees is set to double its revenues by 2019. Why "The Gangham style" from Korea or the "Kolaveri di" from India goes on to have millions of "likes" worldwide, remains a mystery. Precise localization of the neural substrate of music at anatomical, physiological and molecular level still remains unclear. Neuroscience seems to be poised to unravel the mystery of music. Only time will tell whether sound will become music or vice versa.

“…Mozart's music has antiepileptic effects in children as well [71]. Intriguingly, in contrast to the classic piano piece the string version of K. 448 has no effect on epileptiform discharges [72].…”

Neurologic music therapy (NMT) has fostered recovery from complications in patients suffering from a wide variety of neurologic diseases. Combining music and virtual reality with standard rehabilitation therapies can improve patient compliance and make therapy more enjoyable. Listening to music can reduce epileptiform discharges and enhances brain plasticity. Music produces variations in brain anatomy between musicians and non-musicians. Music therapy is an inexpensive intervention to help post-stroke patients to recover faster and more efficiently if applied soon after the event. There is evidence that incorporating music into a rehabilitation program fosters recovery of hand function, dexterity, spatial movement, cognitive function, mood, coordination, stride length and memory. Learning words as lyrics, melodic intonation therapy and singing can help the aphasic patient to recover faster. NMT therapists are valuable members of the rehabilitation team. NMT has been approved by the World Rehabilitation Federation as an effective evidence based method of treatment.
