Alzheimer dementia (AD) constitutes a major societal problem with devastating neuropsychiatric involvement. Pharmaceutical interventions carry a heightened risk of side effects; thus, nonpharmacological interventions such as music-based interventions (MBIs), including music therapy, are recommended.
The 2023 Neurology release of the Music Based Intervention Toolkit for Brain Disorders of Aging showcased music's emerging role as an intervention to manage symptoms of various brain disorders while defining the building blocks of MBIs to guide research in the exploration of music's therapeutic potential.
This study extends beyond the research aspects of the MBI Toolkit to clinical applications by providing neurologists with a summary of MBIs, the MBI Toolkit, how board-certified music therapists (MT-BCs) administered music therapy is a unique MBI, and 10 reasons why they should make referrals to music therapy for their patients with AD.
阿尔茨海默病性痴呆(AD)是一个重大的社会问题,伴有严重的神经精神症状。药物干预存在更高的副作用风险;因此,推荐采用非药物干预措施,如基于音乐的干预(MBIs),包括音乐疗法。
2023年《神经病学》发布的《衰老性脑疾病的基于音乐的干预工具包》展示了音乐作为一种干预手段在管理各种脑疾病症状方面的新作用,同时定义了基于音乐的干预的组成部分,以指导探索音乐治疗潜力的研究。
本研究通过向神经科医生提供基于音乐的干预的概述、基于音乐的干预工具包、认证音乐治疗师(MT - BCs)实施的音乐疗法如何成为一种独特的基于音乐的干预,以及他们应为患有AD的患者转诊至音乐疗法的10个理由,将基于音乐的干预工具包的研究方面扩展到了临床应用。
