Study Summary
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of Binaural Beat Music (BBM; personalized music playlist with binaural beats), Spatialized Music (SM; personalized and spatialized music playlist), their combination, and possible interaction on older adults in an assisted living community who are either living with a dementia diagnosis or are experiencing typical age-related changes. The control condition is a personalized music playlist without binaural beats and spatialization. It is hypothesized that BBM, SM, and their combination each improve aspects of BPSD compared to controls over a two-week intervention period. The Specific Aims of the study are (1) to evaluate whether BBM, SM, and/or their combination is superior to control in reducing BPSD severity (primary outcome); (2) to evaluate whether BBM, SM, and/or their combination is superior to control in reducing caregiver distress (secondary outcomes); and (3) to evaluate the effects of BBM, SM, and/or their combination on improving overall well-being and mood (secondary outcomes).
Primary Outcome
The NPI-Q is consists of a 12-item questionnaire and assesses a broad range of psychiatric disturbances associated with: (1) delusions; (2) hallucinations; (3) agitation or aggression; (4) depression or dysphoria; (5) anxiety; (6) elation or euphoria; (7) apathy or indifference; (8) disinhibition; (9) irritability or lability; (10) motor disturbance; (11) nighttime behaviors; and (12) appetite and eating. Each item is scored whether it is present, and if so, how severe it is on a 3-point scale.
Interventions
- OTHER Personalized Music Listening (PML)
- OTHER Binaural Beat Music (BBM)
