However, no large-scale bibliometric analysis has captured global trends in this interdisciplinary field. This study addresses this gap by systematically mapping music and well-being research, identifying dominant themes and areas needing investigation. Methods We analyzed 16,585 peer-reviewed articles from Scopus (inception to May 2025) across psychology, medicine, and neuroscience. Using co-occurrence network analysis with VOSviewer 1.6.20, Louvain clustering, and cosine similarity mapping, we identified major research trajectories. Temporal trends were analyzed using piecewise linear regression, with qualitative validation via the scanning, sensing, and substantiating framework. Data processing used Python 3.13.3 and R 4.4.3 with bibliometrix. Results A targeted review of 30 key articles\u2014identified through keyword alignment and citation metrics\u2014validated five thematic clusters: (1) Well-being and Spiritual Growth, (2) Music Therapy for Anxiety and Pain, (3) Emotion and Cognition, (4) Rehabilitation in Older Adults, and (5) Hearing Health in Youth. Publication output increased sharply after 2018, with Cluster 2 representing the largest research share. The United States and Europe were most prolific, while musically rich regions like Africa and South Asia were underrepresented. Emerging trends include neuroscientific explorations and AI-driven music interventions. However, clinical implementation challenges persist, including limited healthcare integration and insufficient practitioner training. Conclusions This study provides a foundation for music and well-being research, emphasizing the need for cross-cultural studies, mechanistic insights, and ethical frameworks for digital applications. Future work should prioritize translating research into practice, ensuring equitable global representation, and addressing implementation barriers. Clinicians need training and institutional support, while policymakers must fund research in underrepresented regions to ensure evidence reflects global musical diversity.<\/ns3:p>","DOI":"10.12688\/f1000research.168772.3","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,26]],"date-time":"2026-05-26T07:59:07Z","timestamp":1779782347000},"page":"873","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.12688\/f1000research.crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["A Bibliometric Analysis of Music's Role in Promoting Well-Being in Health Science Research"],"prefix":"10.12688","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4419-1809","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kanjanee","family":"Phanphairoj","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Nursing Bangkok Bangkok Chulalongkorn University"},{"name":"Multidisciplinary approaches to improve holistic well-being for all ages: Harmonizing nursing science and music Research Group Bangkok Bangkok Chulalongkorn University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4545-3308","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sutthisan","family":"Chumwichan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Multidisciplinary approaches to improve holistic well-being for all ages: Harmonizing nursing science and music Research Group Bangkok Bangkok Chulalongkorn University"},{"name":"Invited Researcher, Faculty of Education Bangkok Bangkok Chulalongkorn University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ratsiri","family":"Thato","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Nursing Bangkok Bangkok Chulalongkorn University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dneya","family":"Udtaisuk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Multidisciplinary approaches to improve holistic well-being for all ages: Harmonizing nursing science and music Research Group Bangkok Bangkok Chulalongkorn University"},{"name":"Faculty of Education Bangkok Bangkok Chulalongkorn University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Debby Syahru","family":"Romadlon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Nursing Bangkok Bangkok Chulalongkorn University"},{"name":"Multidisciplinary approaches to improve holistic well-being for all ages: Harmonizing nursing science and music Research Group Bangkok Bangkok Chulalongkorn University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7802-1328","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Faizul","family":"Hasan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Nursing Bangkok Bangkok Chulalongkorn University"},{"name":"Multidisciplinary approaches to improve holistic well-being for all ages: Harmonizing nursing science and music Research Group Bangkok Bangkok Chulalongkorn University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"2560","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1172-1185","DOI":"10.1037\/amp0000819","article-title":"The social neuroscience of music: Understanding the social brain through human song.","volume":"76","author":"D Greenberg","year":"2021","journal-title":"Am.

There are recommendations for clarity and improvement. Response: Thank you for your acknowledgment. A comprehensive, itemized reply to each comment is presented below. Any modifications have been marked in red in the manuscript for convenient reference. We trust that these improvements sufficiently resolve your concerns to enhance the overall quality of the manuscript. Thank you once more for your invaluable feedback and consideration.  Abstract lacks method details. Response: We have expanded the Methods section of the Abstract.  Introduction is brief, incomplete and structured poorly. Define wellbeing, draw link of study variables along with conceptual underpinnings as base of objectives and research questions clearly stated. Give rationale for study. Response: We have substantially revised the Introduction section.  Method indicate systematic review was conducted on 30 studies but abstract has no mention. Further, make comprehensive table of these studies covering all aspects. Response: We thank the reviewer for identifying this inconsistency between the Methods section and the Abstract. We have addressed this issue.  Discussion should based on objectives in light of literature. Response: The Discussion is now structured around the three research objectives, with each section explicitly interpreting findings in relation to the broader literature. Implications for research, clinical practice, and policy have been added.","URL":"https:\/\/f1000research.com\/articles\/14-873\/v3#referee-comment-15665","order":2,"name":"referee-comment-15665","label":"Referee Comment","group":{"name":"article-reports","label":"Article Reports"}},{"value":"10.5256\/f1000research.201300.r494054, Vivi Leona Amelia, Department of Nursing, Faculty of Health Sciences, Universitas Muhammadiyah Purwokerto, Purwokerto, Central Java, 27 Jun 2026, version 3, indexed","URL":"https:\/\/f1000research.com\/articles\/14-873\/v3#referee-response-494054","order":3,"name":"referee-response-494054","label":"Referee Report","group":{"name":"article-reports","label":"Article Reports"}},{"value":"10.5256\/f1000research.201300.r494057, Diah Ratnawati, Departmentof Community Health Nursing, Universitas Pembangunan Nasional Veteran Jakarta, South Jakarta, Jakarta, 14 Jul 2026, version 3, indexed","URL":"https:\/\/f1000research.com\/articles\/14-873\/v3#referee-response-494057","order":4,"name":"referee-response-494057","label":"Referee Report","group":{"name":"article-reports","label":"Article Reports"}},{"value":"The author(s) declared that no grants were involved in supporting this work","order":5,"name":"grant-information","label":"Grant Information"},{"value":"This is an open access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution Licence, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited.","order":0,"name":"copyright-info","label":"Copyright"}]}}
