Many reports have suggested binaural beat therapy can affect mood, anxiety, and even improve symptoms of developmental delay. Unfortunately the majority of the reports and articles making the aforementioned claims are in the form of empirical data. Peer review literature utilizing 30 minute long treatment sessions with a frequency of 2 times per week for 4 weeks reveal interesting findings. A relatively small sample size of 15 volunteers with mild anxiety reported lower inventory scores on pre- and post-study, State-Trait Anxiety Inventories. However, the scores were not statistically significant. Statistical significance indicates that an occurrence of the data was probably the result of a causative factor and not simply a chance result. Therefore data that is not statistically significant means the results were not most likely due to chance and not reliable. Altern Ther Health Med. 2001 Jan;7(1):58-63.
