“…In MCI patients, strong conclusions on the positive effects of music-based interventions on cognition and behavioral symptoms cannot be drawn given the low quality of the methodology employed in the studies and the small effect sizes [16,17]. Multitask movement music therapy seems to more beneficial for patients with MCI than single-training task as it has been shown to modulate the prefrontal cortex activity [18].…”

Background: Recent research has shown that background music may improve memory consolidation and retrieval. Nevertheless, in the clinical conditions preceding dementia such as Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), there is no current evidence speaking to what effect background music during memory tasks has on impaired cognition.Objective: Across three experiments, we investigated if background music is able to improve memory performance, the most impacted cognitive domain in amnestic MCI.Methods: We tested the effect of background music by using a face recognition memory task in patients with amnestic MCI. In Experiment 1, we tested the effect of background music on memory when it was played solely during an encoding phase. In Experiment 2, we explored effects of background music when played during both encoding and recognition phases. In Experiment 3, we explored the role of musically induced arousal on memory. Results: The main finding from these three experiments was that background music played during a memory task did not improve or worsen participant performance. However, when exposed to high-arousal music, memory performance was predicted by individual mood regulation. For low-arousal music conditions, there was a negative relationship between rating scores for music pleasantness and performance on the memory task.Conclusions: Our results suggest that the benefits of background music on memory in individuals with MCI are modulated by interindividual preferences towards music.

“…In addition, screening of patients to eliminate confounding variables, such as hearing loss or amusia, is advisable. 37,44 Control Groups or Comparators Although control groups or comparators may not always be needed for early-phase research, they are crucial for randomized controlled trials. The goals of a study and the research question should drive the selection of the comparator group.…”

Music-based interventions (MBIs) show promise for managing symptoms of various brain disorders. To fully realize the potential of MBIs and dispel the outdated misconception that MBIs are rooted in “soft science,” the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is promoting rigorously designed, well-powered MBI clinical trials. The pressing need of guidelines for scientifically rigorous studies with enhanced data collection brought together the Renée Fleming Foundation, the Foundation for the NIH, the Trans-NIH Music and Health Working Group, and an interdisciplinary scientific expert panel to create the NIH MBI Toolkit for research on music and health across the lifespan. The Toolkit defines the building blocks of MBIs, including a consolidated set of common data elements for MBI protocols, and core datasets of outcome measures and biomarkers for brain disorders of aging that researchers may select for their studies. Utilization of the guiding principles in this Toolkit will be strongly recommended for NIH-funded studies of MBIs.
