Sponsor's own description

This research aims to investigate whether the use of music-improvisation therapy for older adult participants can lead to improvements in cognitive ability levels, especially in attentional functions. Very relevant reviews highlight studies that demonstrate the effectiveness of Music Therapy training. However, only a few are based on randomised criteria and structured methodological approaches. This affects the generalizability of findings, as to whether Music Therapy interventions are effective in improving cognitive functions, mood, and quality of life of people with cognitive decline. In order to make a difference, there is a need for more studies that are structured \[i\] according to rigorous empirical criteria (namely involving random assignment of participants to activity groups), \[ii\] and that gather scientific evidence, based on both standardized cognitive tests and biomarkers (hormones: Cortisol, or stress hormone, and DHEA or aging hormone; brain signal, EEG; Physiology: Respiratory Sinus Arrhythmia). In this RCT study, the investigator investigated the effect of 4-month music therapy vs Storytelling program for older adults with cognitive decline, living in care homes.
