“…The smallest one had five participants (Schwantes and Mckinney, 2010), followed by three authors (Hendricks et al, 1999; Ashida, 2000; Guétin et al, 2009b) who used between 10 and 20 individuals in their clinical trials. Medium sized groups of up to 100 participants were found in six articles (Gupta and Gupta, 2005; Castillo-Pérez et al, 2010; Erkkilä et al, 2011; Wang et al, 2011; Lu et al, 2013). Large groups with more than 100 (Koelsch et al, 2010; Silverman, 2011), or 200 (Chen et al, 2016) participants were the exception, and 236 participants (Chang et al, 2008) presented the upper end in our selection.…”

“…Percussion based tracks and drumming appeared in five scholarly papers (Ashida, 2000; Albornoz, 2011; Lu et al, 2013; Chen et al, 2016; Fancourt et al, 2016). Researchers that used drums reported a significant depression score improvement for every experimental group and we calculated an average of 53.71% for those five articles.…”

“…A different picture became apparent when we selected those four 32 articles that presented better than average (DSI Gr > 49.09%) results in depression score improvement, after participants received music intervention in a group (Gr). Percussion music (mainly drumming) was used by three researchers (Ashida, 2000; Lu et al, 2013; Chen et al, 2016). In comparison, the fourth author (Hendricks et al, 1999) used a selection of relaxing music for treatment.…”

“…In addition, equipment also included one stereo, one electronic piano, two guitars, one set of hand glockenspiel, and other percussion instruments such as cymbals, tambourines, and xylophones. Finally, percussion instruments used in the third study (Lu et al, 2013) included hand bells, snare drums, a castanet, a tambourine, some claves, a triangle and wood blocks.…”

Reviewing the Effectiveness of Music Interventions in Treating Depression

Depression is a very common mood disorder, resulting in a loss of social function, reduced quality of life and increased mortality. Music interventions have been shown to be a potential alternative for depression therapy but the number of up-to-date research literature is quite limited. We present a review of original research trials which utilize music or music therapy as intervention to treat participants with depressive symptoms. Our goal was to differentiate the impact of certain therapeutic uses of music used in the various experiments. Randomized controlled study designs were preferred but also longitudinal studies were chosen to be included. 28 studies with a total number of 1,810 participants met our inclusion criteria and were finally selected. We distinguished between passive listening to music (record from a CD or live music) (79%), and active singing, playing, or improvising with instruments (46%). Within certain boundaries of variance an analysis of similar studies was attempted. Critical parameters were for example length of trial, number of sessions, participants' age, kind of music, active or passive participation and single- or group setting. In 26 studies, a statistically significant reduction in depression levels was found over time in the experimental (music intervention) group compared to a control (n = 25) or comparison group (n = 2). In particular, elderly participants showed impressive improvements when they listened to music or participated in music therapy projects. Researchers used group settings more often than individual sessions and our results indicated a slightly better outcome for those cases. Additional questionnaires about participants confidence, self-esteem or motivation, confirmed further improvements after music treatment. Consequently, the present review offers an extensive set of comparable data, observations about the range of treatment options these papers addressed, and thus might represent a valuable aid for future projects for the use of music-based interventions to improve symptoms of depression.

Moderate- to low-quality evidence suggests that music therapy as an addition to standard care improves the global state, mental state (including negative and general symptoms), social functioning, and quality of life of people with schizophrenia or schizophrenia-like disorders. However, effects were inconsistent across studies and depended on the number of music therapy sessions as well as the quality of the music therapy provided. Further research should especially address the long-term effects of music therapy, dose-response relationships, as well as the relevance of outcome measures in relation to music therapy.

Findings of the present meta-analysis indicate that music therapy provides short-term beneficial effects for people with depression. Music therapy added to treatment as usual (TAU) seems to improve depressive symptoms compared with TAU alone. Additionally, music therapy plus TAU is not associated with more or fewer adverse events than TAU alone. Music therapy also shows efficacy in decreasing anxiety levels and improving functioning of depressed individuals.Future trials based on adequate design and larger samples of children and adolescents are needed to consolidate our findings. Researchers should consider investigating mechanisms of music therapy for depression. It is important to clearly describe music therapy, TAU, the comparator condition, and the profession of the person who delivers the intervention, for reproducibility and comparison purposes.
