Skeptics say music therapy is a mere distraction technique.
Only a limited number of neural pathways can transmit pain impulses. Clog these pathways with music, and there will be fewer left to respond to pain. Some physiologists believe that focusing on music coaxes the body to release its own endorphins. We can't feel we're so right that we don't need to prove what it's all about. Music therapy is not alternative medicine.
