For most interventions to reduce criminal recidivism, long-term effects are uncertain. Music therapy has shown effects on possible precursors of recidivism, but direct evidence on long-term effects is lacking. In an exploratory parallel randomized controlled trial, 66 inmates in a Norwegian prison were allocated to music therapy or standard care and followed up over a median of 6 years, using state registry data. Median time to relapse was 5 years, with no differences between the interventions. The imprisonment of most participants was too short to provide a sufficient number of therapy sessions. Sufficiently powered studies are needed to examine the long-term effects of appropriate doses of therapy.
对于大多数旨在减少犯罪累犯的干预措施，其长期效果尚不确定。音乐疗法已显示出对累犯可能的先兆因素有影响，但缺乏关于长期效果的直接证据。在一项探索性平行随机对照试验中，挪威一所监狱的66名囚犯被分配接受音乐疗法或标准护理，并利用国家登记数据进行了为期6年的随访。复发的中位时间为5年，两种干预措施之间没有差异。大多数参与者的监禁时间太短，无法提供足够数量的治疗课程。需要开展有足够效力的研究来检验适当剂量治疗的长期效果。
