In Music therapy, the sensations of pleasure are provided by the musical experience. Currently, it is known that these sensations of pleasure are capable of interfering in pain management. In this way, we sought to analyze the sensations of pleasure experienced in an aesthetic musical experience and their contribution to the management of pain in Hospital Music Therapy. This is a bibliographic review, with a qualitative approach to the data, made from the final work of the Graduate Neurosciences Program of the Institute of Psychiatry of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (IPUB/UFRJ). It was verified that the efficacy of music therapy in hospitalized patients is related to the proximity and integration of neural circuits involved in pain and pleasure, in the emotional and cognitive aspects that are activated in both experiences and in the interaction of these issues with the current context. The main positive aspects found were the reduction of pain intensity, analgesic consumption and physiological symptoms.
