This study will focus on the effects of live music therapy, on adults, in the emergency room for pain and/or anxiety management and to ascertain benefits for emergency room management and quality of care. Clinical guidelines for emergency music therapy will be discussed. The music therapist provided a pre-test, the live music therapy intervention, and a post-test to all participants (N=30). Results of a t-test determined that there was a significant decrease in pain and a significant increase in comfort. There was an increase in quality of care and a decrease in anxiety, although they were not significant. Overall, music therapy was effective in decreasing pain and increasing comfort with 100% of patients indicating, "Yes" to requesting music therapy services again if admitted to the emergency room.
