Objective: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of music therapy in the treatment of tinnitus.
Methods: Three English databases (PUBMED, Embase, Web of Science) and three Chinese databases (CNKI, VIP, and Wanfang) were searched, and eligible articles were selected according to the set inclusion criteria. Clinical efficacy was used as the primary outcome, and each score was used as the secondary outcome. Using RevMan5.3 software for statistical analysis.
Results: A total of 14 studies involving 1239 tinnitus patients were included. The results of the meta-analysis showed that music therapy had a certain clinical efficacy in the treatment of tinnitus, but there was no significant difference compared with the control group (OR = 1.00, 95%CI =0.83-1.22; P = 1.00). However, music therapy significantly improved THI score (MD = -6.77, 95 % CI = -9.62 to -3.92; P < 0.00001), TSQ (MD = -2.80, 95 % CI = -3.23 to -2.36; P < 0.00001), tinnitus loudness (MD = -3.90, 95 % CI = -6.58 to -1.23; P = 0.004), VAS score (MD = -1.11, 95 % CI = -2.11 to -0.11; P = 0.03) and TQ score (MD = -8.36, 95 % CI = -11.10 to -5.62; P < 0.001).
Conclusion: Music therapy is an effective method for the treatment of tinnitus, which can improve the THI score, tinnitus severity, VAS score, and TQ score and reduce the loudness of tinnitus. Due to the low quality of the included literature, the current conclusions need to be further verified by more and higher-quality studies.

Introduction: This study aimed to evaluate the predictive validity and discriminatory ability of clinical outcomes, inflammatory activity, oxidative and vascular damage, and metabolic mechanisms for detecting significant improve maximum heart rate after physical activity training in individuals with psychiatric disorders and obesity comorbid using a longitudinal design and transdiagnostic perspective.
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.

Introduction: Mental fatigue, a psychobiological state induced by prolonged and sustained cognitive tasks, impairs both cognitive and physical performance. Several studies have investigated strategies to counteract mental fatigue. However, potential health risks and contextual restrictions often limit these strategies, which hinder their practical application.

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.

Background: Arts therapies, encompassing art therapy, music therapy, drama therapy, and dance movement therapy with the broader practice of expressive arts therapies, have demonstrated positive outcomes in the treatment of neurodevelopmental and neurological disorders (NNDs). Integrating arts therapies into telehealth has become increasingly important to improve accessibility for people with mobility impairments or those living in remote areas. This study aims to map the existing body of literature to provide an in-depth overview of telehealth in arts therapies for individuals with NNDs.
