Neurological music therapy during the COVID-19 outbreak: updates and future challenges

Authors: Claudia Vinciguerra, Antonio Federico

Published in: Neurological Sciences | Issue 6/2022

Abstract

Background

In the last few years, several studies confirmed the effectiveness of music therapy (MT) for the rehabilitative management of patients with neurological disorders.

Aim

Here we discuss the feasibility and disadvantages of tele-neurological MT (tele-NMT) compared to the traditional MT programmes.

Methods

We selected all the articles registered in the Web of Knowledge, PubMed, Google Scholar and ScienceDirect from March 2020 to November 2021 concerning tele-NMT during the COVID-19 outbreak, collecting same examples and experiences.

Results

With the advent of the COVID-19, several music-based interventions (MBIs) have been adapted from “in person” to a “remote and virtual” mode (through the telemedicine).

Discussion

Tele-NMT could represent a promising option to provide constant care and support to people with neurological diseases during the pandemic.
