Influence of Music on Brainwave-Based Stress Management

The need to thrive on performance and perfection in people living in this era has led to an increase in stress. Stress affects both our physical as well as mental health. Its damage is often considered underrated. There are many ways in which stress can be harmful to us. It can cause various health implications such as hypertension, diabetes, headaches, immunodeficiency, and so on. Thus, we must detect stress at an early stage. Further, it is necessary to take action to reduce this stress to lead a healthy life. Stress management needs to be made an integral part of our lifestyle. Our study aims at stress detection and implementation of ways to reduce this stress. For our study, we have considered subjects from three categories, namely housewives, college students, and professors. The stress levels of the subjects were measured under different circumstances, and music therapy was used to reduce the stress.
