| Music-based therapeutic interventions for people with dementia, van der Steen JT, Smaling HJA, van der Wouden JC, Bruinsma MS, Scholten RJPM, Vink AC, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews | Systematic review | The study was aimed at exploring the effect of music-based therapeutic interventions for people with dementia. Emotional well-being is used to assess the effects of music-based therapy and its impacts on quality of life and behavioral changes. Trials formed the major part of the study where the researchers focused on the outcomes of individual trials to make comparisons. The trials included activities such as singing, listening or playing along music. This approach is relevant to the aim of the study in light of the fact that it tests how much a person is affected by dementia. In that regard, the researcher can be able to test the effect of music-based therapeutic interventions at different levels. The study is important in determining if music-based therapy is effective in improving emotional well-being. What is more, music-based therapeutic interventions can be used to determine emotional and behavioral changes in the treatment process. As a result, a comparison of the two changes can be used to choose the best approach to the treatment of dementia. |
