Music interventions have been widely used to relieve anxiety in dementia patients, and a limited meta-analysis with randomized controlled trials was conducted. The results showed that music interventions significantly reduced anxiety symptoms, especially for Alzheimer's disease and mixed-type dementia. Significant improvements in agitation and depression in dementia were also observed. Several psychological mechanisms related to music interventions were comprehensively reviewed.
Music interventions (MIs) have been widely used to relieve anxiety in dementia in clinical settings. However, limited meta-analysis with randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on this topic has been conducted so far. A systematic search was conducted in four major databases (PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library) for data provided by RCTs from the inception to February 2023. The search strategy employed the terms anxiety AND music AND dementia OR Alzheimer's disease. Thirteen RCTs (827 participants) were included. The results showed MI reduced anxiety significantly (SMD = -0.67, p < 0.001), especially for Alzheimer's disease (p = 0.007) and Mixed (p < 0.001)-type dementia. Moreover, significant improvements in agitation (p = 0.021) and depression (p < 0.001) in dementia were observed. Additionally, several psychological mechanisms which may be associated with MI were reviewed comprehensively. In conclusion, our findings support the efficacy of MI in alleviating anxiety symptoms in dementia patients. PROSPERO Registration (ID: CRD42021276646).
