Abstract

Cognitive deficits are one of the most prevalent impairments in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Music therapy has the potential to be a valuable intervention for improving cognitive function. This review aimed to investigate the effects of music therapy on cognitive function in patients with TBI. Scopus, PubMed, REHABDATA, PEDro, EMBASE, and web of science were searched for experimental trials examining the impacts of music therapy on cognition in patients with TBI from inception until December 2022. Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) scale was used to evaluate the methodological quality of the included studies. Five studies met the inclusion criteria. A total of 122 patients with TBI were included in this review, 32% of whom were females. The PEDro scores ranged from four to seven, with a median of five. The findings showed that music therapy could be effective in improving executive function post-TBI, with limited evidence for the effects on memory and attention. Music therapy might be safe in patients with TBI. The evidence for the effect of music therapy on executive function in patients with TBI is promising. Further studies with larger sample sizes and long-term follow-ups are strongly needed.

音乐治疗在改善创伤性脑损伤后认知功能中的作用：一项系统综述。

认知缺陷是创伤性脑损伤（TBI）患者最常见的功能障碍之一。音乐疗法有可能成为改善认知功能的一种有价值的干预手段。本文旨在探讨音乐治疗对脑外伤患者认知功能的影响。我们检索了Scopus、PubMed、REHABDATA、PEDro、EMBASE和web of science，检索了从一开始到2022年12月检查音乐治疗对TBI患者认知影响的实验试验。采用物理治疗证据数据库（PEDro）量表评价纳入研究的方法学质量。5项研究符合纳入标准。本综述共纳入122例TBI患者，其中32%为女性。佩德罗得分范围从4到7，中位数为5。研究结果表明，音乐疗法可以有效地改善脑外伤后的执行功能，但对记忆和注意力的影响证据有限。音乐疗法对脑外伤患者可能是安全的。音乐治疗对脑外伤患者执行功能影响的证据是有希望的。迫切需要更大样本量和长期随访的进一步研究。

Full-length articles and brief communications are included. Case studies of adult patients carefully assessing the nature, course, or treatment of clinical neuropsychological dysfunctions in the context of scientific literature, are suitable. Review manuscripts addressing critical issues are encouraged. Preference is given to papers of clinical relevance to others in the field. All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor-in-Chief, and, if found suitable for further considerations are peer reviewed by independent, anonymous expert referees.
