This pilot study investigated the effect of individualized music on agitation in individuals with dementia who live at home. Fifteen individuals listened to their preferred music for 30 minutes prior to peak agitation time, two times per week for 2 weeks, followed by no music intervention for 2 weeks. The process was repeated once. The findings showed that mean agitation levels were significantly lower while listening to music than before listening to the music. The findings of this pilot study suggest the importance of music intervention for individuals with dementia who live at home.
这项试点研究调查了个性化音乐对居家痴呆症患者躁动的影响。15名患者在躁动高峰期前聆听30分钟他们喜欢的音乐，每周两次，共2周，之后2周不进行音乐干预。该过程重复一次。研究结果表明，聆听音乐时的平均躁动水平显著低于聆听音乐前。这项试点研究的结果表明了音乐干预对居家痴呆症患者的重要性。
