dc.description.abstractMusic is a universal language, and is the best way of cultural interaction, communication andshare feelings. Different musical melodies have different influences on mind states of individuals. Musicaltherapy is a special type of therapy in which verbal communication is coupled with musical interaction andcommunication styles. Selection of person specific and therapeutic music styles will result in the alleviationof several symptoms in patients under palliative care. Musical therapy is a significant supportive tool for thetreatment of cognitive, physical, social, environmental and spiritual needs of palliative care patients of all ages.Furthermore, it prevents the disturbances caused by cancer treatment. The use of musical therapy in Turkishhistory has first been mentioned in Uyghur rock inscriptions. Ottoman music is a sophisticated and developedsynthesis of the makam music. Ottomans would use different instrumental and vocal musical piecesto cure certain medical and psychological conditions. In more recent times however, ethnomusicology wasnot included in the curriculum as a teaching or means of therapy in Turkish medicine, that is why it did notbecome a routine treatment modality, the applications were limited to the disciplines of psychiatry, anesthesiology,intensive care, surgery and pediatric medicine as well as to the academic studies of the physicianswho had an interest in this field. Despite the fact that it is a significant contributor to the control of symptomsin palliative care patients, there have not been studies emphasizing the importance of its use in such patientsuntil recently. Together with reentry into agenda of the treatment efficacy of music in Turkey andworldwide, Ministry of Health of Turkey initiated a “Musical Therapy Training Certificate Program” forhealth professionals in 2016. In addition to this intervention, professional musicians should also have an interestin this topic and should collaborate with the physicians academically in the treatment process. Thisreview emphasizes the need for initiating routine clinical applications, academic studies and trainings withcultural, ethnic and individualized Turkish music therapy on palliative care patients as a means of efficientpalliation.en_US
