| Summary: | Meditation is an essential component of mind-body medicine. The mind sound resonance technique (MSRT) is a unique technique that uses sound as a stimulus to induce relaxation. Several studies have been done to assess the effects of MSRT on various aspects of health. The current article compiles qualitative research done using MSRT as an intervention. Approximately 700 articles were found in Google Scholar and PubMed. After screening, 13 articles were included in the review. Evidence shows that MSRT is beneficial for the physiological and psychological dimensions of health. More specifically, the technique has improved varied aspects of cognition in different populations. Thus, MSRT can be implemented as an add-on to conventional treatment of several conditions. It can also be included in school curricula to improve cognitive function and total health. However, further research should be conducted with large sample sizes and good study designs to ascertain the benefits. |
