Music Therapy is the clinical & evidence-based use of music interventions to accomplish individualized goals within a therapeutic relationship by a credentialed professional who has completed an approved music therapy program.
Research has demonstrated that music therapy techniques can be used to improve and/or maintain vocal qualities, gait disorder, improve mood and decrease tremors. Nonmotor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease (PD) including depression, anxiety, apathy, and sleep disturbances have a greater impact on health-related quality of life than motor symptoms. Apathy, or a lack of motivation to perform goal-oriented behaviors, is reported in 40% of people with PD. Apathy in PD is associated with more severe disability, greater levels of caregiver burden, and independently predicts poorer quality of life. (Shah, D. Z., 2022)
