“…Our systematic review of studies on the effects of music therapy of patients living with dementia suggests significant improvements in verbal and language fluency, alleviation of BPSD including anxiety and depression and reduced levels of apathy. These findings are generally in line with previous reports on the potential benefits of music therapy in improving the behavioral symptoms in patients living with dementia [53,54]. However, our study suggests that music therapy failed to significantly improve the overall aspects of cognition (such as memory, orientation, and registration), agitation, daily functioning, and the quality of life of patients living with dementia.…”

Dementia is an increasingly common syndrome and while pharmacotherapy is available, its potential benefit is limited, especially in non-cognitive outcomes. Non-pharmacotherapy such as music therapy is potentially associated with improved outcomes. We assessed the effects of music therapy on patients with dementia to evaluate its potential benefits on dementia. Two independent reviewers searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, CENTRAL, and ClinicalTrials.gov databases for clinical trials, using the keywords “music therapy” and “dementia”. Study outcomes included cognitive function, behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD), and quality of life. A total of 82 studies were included, of which 43 were interventional clinical trials, and 39 were systematic reviews or meta-analyses. Significant improvements in verbal fluency occurred after music therapy, with significant reductions in anxiety, depression, and apathy. There were no significant improvements in cognition or daily functioning, and the results on quality of life and agitation were ambiguous. Limitations of studies included low patient numbers, lack of standardized music therapy, and high heterogeneity in outcomes. More large-scale clinical trials would allow for clearer conclusions on the benefits of music therapy in patients with dementia.

“…3 rationalised the oscillatory nature of FT¢ spectra as being deliberate. However, the added evidential dimension of FT¢ oscillatory behaviour being ratio-based may also rationalise a connectedness to music-based neurophysiological research, which for example has found: (i) a strong association between rhythm (perception skills) and language development in young children that is linked to the sharing of neural networks/cognitive resources between rhythm and grammatical structure learning [69]; (ii) that listening to classical music (by musically experienced participants) enhances the activity of genes responsible for brain function (in particular genes involved with dopamine secretion and transport, synaptic neurotransmission, learning and memory), with the synuclein-alpha gene (a known risk gene for Parkinson's disease) being one of the most enhanced [9]; (iii) benefits of music therapy for the treatment of dementia-based behavioural disorders [70]; and more generally (iv) multiple effects, both structural and functional, on the cerebral cortex in response to deliberate music exposure [6,7,9] (these examples represent only a small subset of a profusion of music-based neurophysiological research).…”

This paper presents a new electroencephalogram (EEG) analysis technique which is applied to example EEGs pertaining to nine human subjects and a broad spectrum of clinical scenarios. While focusing on technique physical efficacy, the paper also paves the way for future clinically-focused studies with revelations of several quantified and detailed findings in relation to high-order central nervous system communicative impulse encoding akin to a sophisticated form of phase-shift keying. The fact that fine encoding details are extracted with confidence from a seemingly modest EEG set supports the paper’s position that vast amounts of accessible information currently goes unrecognised by conventional EEG analysis. The technique commences with high resolution Fourier analysis being twice applied to an EEG, providing newly-identified harmonics. Except for deep sleep where harmonic phase, φ, behaviour becomes highly linear, φ transitional values, ∆φ, measured between harmonics of progressively increasing order are found to cluster rather than follow a normal distribution (e.g., χ2 = 303, df = 12, p < 0.001). Clustering is categorised into ten Families for which many separations between ∆φ values are writable in terms of k = j/4 or j/3 (j = 1, 2, 3 ...), with a preference for k = j/2 (χ2 = 77, df = 1, p < 0.001), amounts of a Family-specific quantum increment value, α∆φ. A parabolic relationship (r > 0.9999, p < 0.001) exists between α∆φ (and the parabola minimum associates with an additional inter-Family or universal quantum increment value, αmin). Ratios of α∆φ typically align within ± 0.5% of simple common fractions (95% CI).

“…Finally, active aging takes place in the best possible (physical, psychological and social) conditions, it entails few -or none-losses of the psychosocial, physical and/or cognitive abilities, resulting in a better quality of life and life expectancy (5). Therefore, it implies and directly depends on certain environmental factors such as physical exercise (7), adequate nutrition (8), educational level (9), social and leisure activities (10), promotion of alternative, non-pharmacological therapies, among others (11).…”

Introducción: el envejecimiento es un proceso complejo, universal e irreversible, con cambios graduales que fluctúan de un individuo a otro por diversos factores (fisiológicos, biológicos, ambientales, sociales, etc.). Existen antecedentes del efecto potencial de la musicoterapia sobre aspectos psicológicos y sociales caracte- rísticos de las personas de la tercera edad. En ese sentido, el objetivo del presente trabajo es evaluar la eficacia de la musicoterapia para mejorar la calidad de vida de los adultos mayores. Materiales y métodos: se admi- nistró un inventario de calidad de vida, comparando un grupo que asistía a un taller de musicoterapia y un grupo control que no tenía este tipo de estimulación. Resultados: los asistentes a musicoterapia presentaron mayores puntajes en lo que refiere a la calidad de vida total y en subcomponentes del inventario (religión, creatividad, recreación y amor). Conclusión: el abordaje musicoterapéutico, con sus técnicas no invasivas, presenta una propuesta con potenciales beneficios para mejorar la calidad de vida de los adultos mayores.
