Committed to exploring the breadth of applications for mental wellness

A growing body of research supports music as an effective treatment for those addressing various mental health challenges. At LUCID, we are expediting this research and producing real-world applications to establish music as medicine.

We believe that music can be a highly-effective primary or adjunctive modality in many therapeutic protocols. It can assist in achieving your specific treatment goals, or increase compliance & efficacy as an adjunctive modality.

Working with digital therapeutic partners, we’re able to advance the research and development of innovative new digital products for a breadth of applications.

Anxiety

Results from our adult acute anxiety study demonstrate the potential of LUCID’s technology as part of an anxiety treatment program. A single 24-minute listening session produced a 16% decrease in somatic anxiety as compared to a 5% decrease by the active comparator (p=0.03).

Burnout

Although burnout is a complex and growing problem in many fields, there is not a validated, one-size-fits-all solution that has been widely implemented. Music therapy has shown promise in scientific studies in symptom reduction. A multidimensional digital intervention including a music-based component is under research & development to address this issue through both prevention and symptom management.

Parkinson’s Disease

Music is currently used to assist with both movement and depressive symptoms in people living with Parkinson’s disease, and can increase levels of endogenous dopamine which are reduced in this population. The use of quantitative methods of music selection to improve outcomes from music-listening in this population is being explored.

Tinnitus

Tinnitus affects over 30% of Canadians and Americans, and is highly comorbid with anxiety. While no cure exists, auditory and music-based interventions are regularly employed to help manage symptoms. Coupling these supported auditory interventions with LUCID’s music system with validation for anxiety reduction may increase efficacy.
