Music therapy may help fight Alzheimer’s
As Paolo Maria Rossini explains “According to a recent study at Northwestern University in the USA, carried out in collaboration with the Institute for Therapy through the Arts (ITA), the emotions produced by listening to music loved in youth would resist both Alzheimer’s and to dementia” attests the head of the Department of Neuroscience and Neurorehabilitation at San Raffaele Hospital.Idodo listening to music (Playback/ Clinimaster)
Still according to him, listening to music causes a protective effect against processes of neurological degeneration, which causes various forms of dementia. Dementia is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by the progressive impairment of one or more cognitive domains, such as memory, attention, executive functions and language. “Since 2001, music has been introduced as a non-pharmacological technique to improve cognitive functions and, in particular, behavioral disturbances in patients affected by dementia. Its therapeutic efficacy seems to be based on the preservation of musical memory even in cases and stages more advanced stages of the disease, thanks to which the patient with dementia seems to keep intact the fundamental musical skills and competences, intonation, rhythmic synchrony, sense of tonality”clarified Rossini. Music has a calming effect that can alleviate behavioral symptoms, such as psychomotor agitation and aggression in patients with dementia, in addition, it can help with memory loss, since musical circuits have a close connection with those dedicated to memory. “Especially in relation to the memories of the first stages of life (childhood and youth) that disappear last, the memories of popular songs in our youthful years also remain for a long time”he added. “listening and singing these songs, therefore, helps to control moments of agitation and draws the attention (often very undulating and capricious) of the patient”, concludes the expert. No matter the genre of the song listening and singing music are the best options to give you the emotions and even control them. Featured photo: Supported hands demonstrating assistance.
