New scientific data claims that two particular types of music could lessen the symptoms of motion sickness in individuals who experience the condition.<\/p>\n
In September, Frontiers, a publisher of peer-reviewed scientific information, shared data on the relationship between four types of music and motion sickness. Researchers at China\u2019s Henan Institute of Science and Technology conducted the study. They found<\/a> that \u201cjoyful\u201d and \u201csoft\u201d music\u00a0\u201csignificantly alleviated motion sickness symptoms.\u201d Moreover, joyful tunes were slightly more effective at alleviating motion sickness compared to soft music.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, \u201csad\u201d music possibly intensified discomfort \u201cthrough emotional resonance.\u201d The researchers noted that the sad music \u201chad a lower alleviation effect\u201d on motion sickness than the control group. The other type of sound that the data collectors tested was \u201cstirring\u201d music, which had a \u201cmoderate\u201d impact.<\/p>\n The study had some particularly noteworthy limitations, including a sample size of only 30 subjects aged between 20 and 30. Additionally, the sample size\u2019s motion sickness was based on their feelings while using a driving simulator, as opposed to them actually being on the road<\/a>.<\/p>\n Travelers often experience motion sickness while in transport, including in cars, on flights, or on boats. People also commonly experience motion sickness while on roller coasters<\/a> and amusement park rides. Symptoms include dizziness, nausea, vomiting, headaches, perspiration, and more.<\/p>\n \u201cMotion sickness significantly impairs the travel experience<\/a> for many individuals, and existing pharmacological interventions often carry side effects such as drowsiness,\u201d noted Dr. Qizong Yue of Southwest University in Chongqing, China. \u201cMusic represents a non-invasive, low-cost, and personalized intervention strategy,\u201d added Yue, a corresponding author of the article in\u00a0Frontiers in Human Neuroscience.<\/p>\nWhat Else Is There To Know About Music As A Cure For Motion Sickness?<\/h2>\n
