(Toronto) – Winding down with music may help ease anxiety, but researchers in Canada say there’s a specific time frame that works best. A clinical trial found that listening to specially designed music for 24 minutes can reduce anxiety symptoms. The music was paired with auditory beat stimulation. ABS is a sound pattern meant to influence brain activity. The study, led by researchers at Toronto Metropolitan University, included 144 adults with moderate anxiety.

People also reported feeling less negative after listening to music with ABS.
