本文旨在探討音樂療法(music therapy,MT)介入阿茲海默症(Alzheimer's disease,AD)的研究進展,研究採用文獻分析法進行探討。AD是一種進行性神經退化疾病,涉及認知障礙和進行性記憶缺陷。音樂療法對患者的生理、認知、情感產生顯著影響。近年來,隨著人口老年化問題加劇,AD的患病率逐年增長。由於目前缺乏有效的AD治療方法,特別是缺乏疾病的改善療法,以及缺乏完善的機制,因此AD的治療和臨床管理是一個重大的公共衛生問題。因此,研究和開發有效的非藥物介入措施有助於改善患者和減少家庭以及醫護人員的護理問題,控制AD患者的症狀並減輕我們社會的負擔是至關重要的。MT作為非藥物介入的一種治療方法,在減輕AD患者認知障礙以及緩解患者激越、憂鬱情緒有著很大的潛能,並且能提高患者幸福感,減少社會負擔。能夠通過改善腦膜淋巴/淋巴清除來減少AD大腦中Aβ的積累,從而達到治療AD的效果。本文將結合現有的研究來闡述MT的介入措施中的音樂電針、個性化音樂和主動型音樂介入以及接受型音樂介入對患者產生的積極影響。
In this paper, the research progress of music therapy in the treatment of Alzheimer's Disease is discussed by the method of literature analysis. AD is a progressive neurodegenerative disease involving cognitive impairment and progressive memory deficits. Music therapy has a significant physical, cognitive, and emotional impact on AD patients. In recent years, with the aggravation of population aging, the prevalence of AD has increased year by year. The treatment and clinical management of AD is a major public health issue due to the current lack of effective therapies for AD, especially disease-modifying therapies, and the lack of well-established mechanisms. Therefore, it is essential to research and develop effective non-pharmacological interventions that can help improve patients and reduce care problems for families as well as healthcare workers to control the symptoms of AD patients and reduce the heavy burden on our society. As a non-drug intervention treatment method, MT has great potential in reducing cognitive impairment, agitation and depression in patients with AD, improving patients' happiness and reducing social burden. It can reduce the accumulation of Aβ in the AD brain by improving meningeal lymph/lymph clearance, so as to achieve the effect of treating AD. This article will focus on the combination of existing studies to elaborate the positive effects of music electroacupuncture, personalized music and active music intervention in MT interventions on patients.
