Music can reduce the perception of pain and can reduce the need for pharmaceuticals
One study has shown that music therapy or musical stimulation reduces the perception of pain for post-surgical patients.
"Self-report of and physiological measures on post-surgical patients indicate that music therapy or music stimulation reduces the perception of pain, both alone and when part of a multimodal pain management program, and can reduce the need for pharmaceutical interventions."

Music interventions may improve psychological and physical outcomes in cancer patients
Having cancer may result in extensive emotional, physical and social suffering. Music interventions have been used throughout history to alleviate symptoms and treatment side effects in cancer patients and one study has shown that music can reduce anxiety and pain, while improving mood and quality of life in people with cancer.
"This systematic review indicates that music interventions may have beneficial effects on anxiety, pain, mood, and Quality of Life in people with cancer. Furthermore, music may have a small effect on heart rate, respiratory rate, and blood pressure..."

Listening to music can speed up post-workout recovery
One study found that listening to music after a workout can help the body recover faster.
"...music hastens post exercise recovery and slow music has greater relaxation effect than fast or no music, recovery time being independent of the gender and individual music preference."

Synchronized personalized music playlists shown to reduce perceived physical activity exertion and improve exercise performance
One study found that using synchronized rhythmic auditory stimulation during workouts improves exercise performance.
"Patients randomized to personalized audio-playlists with tempo-pace synchrony achieved higher weekly volumes of physical activity than did their non-music usual-care comparators (475.6 min vs. 370.2 min, P < 0.001)."

Listening to Music Can Decrease Stress
"Patients who listen to music after surgery in an intensive care unit showed reduced blood pressure and heart rate, less need for pain medication, and a 20 percent drop in two important stress hormones, epinephrine and interleukin-6 (IL-6). They also showed a surprising 50 percent jump in pituitary growth hormone, which can be associated with further reducing stress and jump-starting healing."
