Abstract

Objective: To determine the benefits of music therapy as a treatment alternative for the re-lighting of symptoms in patients diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, Hospital General IESS Ambato. Method: Clinical history was used, the population consisted of 29 patients diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. Conclusion: Music therapy is an effective non-pharmacological therapy for the re-focusing of certain cognitive, emotional and behavioral symptoms in patients with Alzheimer's disease. Music therapy also proves to be effective in improving the mood and apathy of these subjects throughout the treatment, reducing their depression and their inertia towards apathy.
