Indications
Alzheimer's Disease
We have developed a personalized and standardized non-pharmacological treatment for Alzheimer's disease.
An effective treatment for Alzheimer's disease with no side effects.
Alzheimer's disease is a complex neurodegenerative pathology that causes psycho-behavioral and cognitive disorders during its course. More than 35 million people worldwide are affected by Alzheimer's disease, with more than 7 million new cases each year. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the number of patients is expected to double every 20 years.
Today only a few drug treatments can slow down the development of this disease, but they generate serious side effects. Music therapy has proved its effectiveness during numerous clinical studies conducted with people suffering from Alzheimer's disease.
MUSIC CARE© has published the results of its first randomized controlled studies on behavioral disorders and the burden experienced by caregivers. Reductions of over 50% in anxiety and depression were observed during these studies.
