Music therapy: a mainstay in pediatric palliative care

Music therapy is a therapeutic discipline that uses music to improve the lives of patients. In the context of pediatric palliative care, it offers significant benefits:

Relief from pain and anxiety: Music helps reduce the perception of pain and decrease stress levels in children.
Improved communication: It facilitates the expression of emotions and thoughts that are difficult to verbalize, strengthening the bond between the child and his family.
Humanization of the hospital environment: Transforms clinical spaces into warmer and more welcoming environments, favoring emotional well-being.

The Foundation porque Viven integrates music therapy into its comprehensive care model, recognizing its value in accompanying children with life-limiting or life-threatening illnesses.

“Our commitment is to provide care that not only alleviates physical suffering, but also cares for the souls of children and their families. Music therapy is a powerful tool in this journey..”
— José Carlos López Seisdedos, Director of the Foundation porqueViven
