Background

Dementia is a clinical syndrome with a number of different causes which is characterised by deterioration in cognitive functions. Research is pursuing a variety of promising findings for the treatment of dementia. Pharmacological interventions are available but have limited ability to treat many of the syndrome's features. Little research has been directed towards non‐pharmacological treatments. In this review the evidence for music therapy as a treatment is examined.

Objectives

To assess the effects of music therapy in the treatment of behavioural, social, cognitive and emotional problems of older people with dementia, in relation to the type of music therapy intervention

Search methods

ALOIS, the Specialized Register of the Cochrane Dementia and Cognitive Improvement Group (CDCIG) was searched on 14 April 2010 using the terms: music therapy, music, singing, sing, auditory stimulation. Additional searches were also carried out on 14 April 2010 in the major healthcare databases MEDLINE, EMBASE, PSYCinfo, CINAHL and LILACS, trial registers and grey literature sources to ensure the search was as up‐to‐date and as comprehensive as possible.

Selection criteria

Randomised controlled trials that reported clinically relevant outcomes associated with music therapy in treatment of behavioural, social, cognitive and emotional problems of older people with dementia.

Data collection and analysis

Two reviewers screened the retrieved studies independently for methodological quality. Data from accepted studies were independently extracted by the reviewers.

Main results

Ten studies were included. The methodological quality of the studies was generally poor and the study results could not be validated or pooled for further analyses.

Authors' conclusions

The methodological quality and the reporting of the included studies were too poor to draw any useful conclusions.

PICOs

Population
Intervention
Comparison
Outcome

The PICO model is widely used and taught in evidence-based health care as a strategy for formulating questions and search strategies and for characterizing clinical studies or meta-analyses. PICO stands for four different potential components of a clinical question: Patient, Population or Problem; Intervention; Comparison; Outcome.

Nema dovoljno dokaza za potporu niti odbacivanje korištenja terapije glazbom u skrbi starijih osoba s demencijom

Cilj ovog Cochrane sustavnog pregleda bio je ocijeniti može li terapija glazbom smanjiti probleme s ponašanjem i kognitivne probleme ili poboljšati socijalno i emocionalno funkcioniranje osoba s demencijom. U ovaj pregled uključeno je deset studija koje navode da je terapija glazbom korisna u liječenju starijih osoba s demencijom. Međutim, metodološka kvaliteta ovih malih, kratkoročnih studija bila je općenito loša, kao i prikaz rezultata. Stoga se ne mogu donijeti konačni zaključci.
