Study Summary
In this pilot study a new kind of music therapy will be created and tested to help prevent confusion, called delirium, that can happen in the hospital. This can affect people with brain diseases like Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. Each of the anticipated 30 participants will have up to five music therapy sessions. The sessions will be made just for them and may include live music, playing instruments, or listening to recorded music. Surveys will be used to learn how easy the therapy is to do in the hospital and what people think about how helpful the sessions may be for future patients.
Primary Outcome
The 3-Minute Diagnostic Interview for the Confusion Assessment Method (3D-CAM) will be used to assess presence and severity of delirium. For participants who cannot complete the 3D-CAM due to non-verbal status, the CAM-ICU will be used in its place.
