Abstract in brief

The study investigated the effects of a new music therapy technique on anxiety and depression in patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease, showing significant reductions in both symptoms from week 4 to 16 that lasted up to 8 weeks after therapy ended.
15 patients received weekly individual receptive music therapy, where they chose the musical style, and another 15 participated in reading sessions as a control, with assessments conducted over 24 weeks.
Results demonstrated that music therapy effectively reduced anxiety and depression, confirming its value as a simple, integrable treatment option for managing psychological symptoms in Alzheimer’s patients.
