Aim: Patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery may experience psychological complications, which can increase mortality. This review aims to explore the efficacy of music therapy as an intervention to reduce anxiety pre- and post-operatively in CABG surgery.
Design: This was a quantitative systematic review registered in PROSPERO (REDACTED).
Methods: This review used the PECOD framework to identify quantitative questions. We systematically searched seven electronic databases (Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, CINAHL, MEDLINE, PubMed, Embase, PsycArticles, and PsycInfo) for articles published between 1 January 1992 and 13 July 2022. Studies were critically appraised, and the results of this systematic review yielded a narrative summary of the findings.
Results: Four randomized control trials and one quasi-experimental study published in English were included in the review. Narrative analysis indicated that patients undergoing CABG who were assigned to the group receiving music therapy reported significantly reduced anxiety levels compared with controls who did not listen to music. In addition, music therapy can effectively be used as a non-pharmacological intervention to manage anxiety pre- and post-operatively in CABG surgery. No members of the public or patients were involved in the design or conduct of the study.

School of Medicine, Trinity College Dublin, Dublin, Ireland.
Purpose: As the global population of older adults rises, the United Nations Decade of Healthy Ageing (2021-2030) advocates for disease prevention, management, and enhancing overall wellbeing in older adults. We reviewed the MEDLINE literature under the MeSH term "music therapy" (MT), for its role in promoting healthy ageing.
Methods: A systematic search of the MEDLINE biomedical database (Ovid) was conducted using "MT" and "Ageing" as keywords, retrieving relevant full-text studies in English.

Methods: Patients with major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder and, schizophrenia and with comorbid obesity (n = 29) were assigned to a 12-week structured physical exercise program. Peripheral blood biomarkers of inflammation, oxidative stress, vascular mechanisms, and metabolic activity, as well as neurocognitive and functional performance were assessed twice, before and after intervention.
Does music counteract mental fatigue? A systematic review.
PLoS One

Article Synopsis
- Mental fatigue is a state caused by prolonged cognitive tasks that negatively affects both mental and physical performance, leading to the need for effective countermeasures.
- Music, being noninvasive and portable, is proposed as a potential solution to combat mental fatigue, although effectiveness can vary by music style.
- A systematic review of nine studies found that relaxing, exciting, and personally preferred music can reduce feelings of mental fatigue and enhance cognitive performance, particularly in tasks involving inhibition and working memory.
Basic Science and Pathogenesis.
Alzheimers Dement
December 2024
University of California, Los Angeles, CA, USA.
Background: Dementia exhibits abnormal network activity, including altered gamma frequency (30-100 Hz) in Alzheimer's disease (AD). A non-pharmacological, non-invasive approach to AD treatment involves stimulating sensory inputs using gamma band, with 40 Hz as the most effective in eliciting a robust EEG response. Light and sound stimulation at 40 Hz reduces AD pathology in mouse models and improves cognition in humans with AD.
