Suffering from chronic arthritis pain?

It might be time for a little Mozart. Sixty-six elderly arthritis patients
took part in a study recently reported in the Journal of Advanced Nursing.
Half of the participants sat quietly and listened to 20 minutes of music by
Mozart each day for two weeks. The other half just sat quietly or read
something for the same period of time. Those in the music group experienced
steadily decreasing pain scores over the 14 days, while those in the control
group did not. Music, it seems, can calm the savage beast of arthritis pain
as well. So, along with other pain-management techniques such as exercise
and your doctor's advice, don't overlook the soothing, pain-reducing
potential of music.

I don't really think I can listen to any more music than I do now - and most
ofit is classical.  Mozart's ok, but if I have to stick to just one composer
I think it'd be JS Bach.  Lived longer, wrote a lot more, and every note is
precisely where it should be.
