Music interventions such as group music therapy (GMT) and recreational choir singing (RCS) have shown promising effects, but their comparative effectiveness across clinical subgroups is unknown. This trial aims to determine effectiveness of GMT, RCS and their combination for care home residents and to examine heterogeneity of treatment effects across subgroups. Methods and analysis: This large, pragmatic, multinational cluster-randomised controlled trial with a 2×2 factorial design will compare the effects of GMT, RCS, both or neither, for care home residents aged 65 years or older with dementia and depressive symptoms. We will randomise 100 care home units with ≥1000 residents in total across eight countries. Each intervention will be offered for 6 months (3 months 2 times/week followed by 3 months 1 time/week), with extension allowed if locally available. The primary outcome will be the change in the Montgomery-{\AA}sberg Depression Rating Scale score at 6 months. Secondary outcomes will include depressive symptoms, cognitive functioning, neuropsychiatric symptoms, psychotropic drug use, caregiver burden, quality of life, mortality and costs over at least 12 months. The study has 90\% power to detect main effects and is also powered to determine interaction effects with gender, severity and socioeconomic status. Ethics and dissemination: Ethical approval has been obtained for one country and will be obtained for all countries. Results will be presented at national and international conferences and published in scientific journals.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{WoschBlauthClarketal., author = {Wosch, Thomas and Blauth, Laura and Clark, Imogen and Eickholt, Jasmin and Fachner, J{\"o}rg and Grandjean, Didier and M{\"u}hling, Tanja and Thurn, Tabea and Warnke, Sven}, title = {Musiktherapie im Spannungsfeld gesellschaftlicher Herausforderungen}, address = {W{\"u}rzburg}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:863-opus-19055}, pages = {146}, abstract = {Die Musiktherapie in der Altenpflege, der Demenzpflege und f{\"u}r Familien mit Menschen mit Beeintr{\"a}chtigungen ber{\"u}hrt sowohl musiktherapeutisch als auch interdisziplin{\"a}r ein umfassendes Spannungsfeld.

This is likely to significantly increase in coming years as the number and proportion of older adults in the population rises all around the world. Therefore, it is imperative that the effectiveness of approaches to the prevention and treatment of depression are understood. Creative arts interventions, including art, dance movement, drama, and music modalities, are utilized internationally to target depression and depressive symptoms in older adults. This includes interventions led by trained arts therapists as well as other health and arts professionals. However, to date there has not been a systematic review that reports effects and examines the processes (why) and mechanisms (how) of creative arts interventions are used to address depression in this older age group. This systematic review of studies on creative arts interventions for older adults experiencing depression examined: outcomes of four creative arts modalities (art, dance movement, drama, and music); with particular attention paid to processes documented as contributing to change in each modality; and mechanisms considered to result from these processes. Our analysis of 75 articles (17 art, 13 dance, 4 drama, and 41 music) indicates mostly significant quantitative or positive qualitative findings, particularly for interventions led by creative arts therapists. Mechanisms of change gleaned from the studies that were common across modalities include physical (e.g., increased muscle strength; neurochemical effects, such as endorphin release), intra-personal (e.g., enhanced self-concept, strengthened agency and mastery; processing and communication of emotions), cultural (e.g., creative expression, aesthetic pleasure), cognitive (e.g., stimulation of memory), and social (e.g., increased social skills and connection), that were all considered to contribute to reduced depression and symptoms. Recommendations for future research includes stronger focus on testing of processes and mechanisms.}, language = {en} } @article{EickholtTamplinClark, author = {Eickholt, Jasmin and Tamplin, Jeanette and Clark, Imogen N.}, title = {Therapeutic songwriting to enhance wellbeing and decrease depression in older people living in residential care: A lyrics analysis of participant-composed songs}, series = {Nordic Journal of Music Therapy}, journal = {Nordic Journal of Music Therapy}, publisher = {Informa UK Limited}, issn = {0809-8131}, doi = {10.1080/08098131.2025.2497802}, pages = {1 -- 19}, language = {en} } @book{CampbellWoschTamplinetal., author = {Campbell, Elsa and Wosch, Thomas and Tamplin, Jeanette and Petrowitz, Carina and McMahon, Kate and Thurn, Tabea and Stuart-R{\"o}hm, Kary and Eickholt, Jasmin and Thompson, Zara and Warnke, Sven}, title = {Music Therapy for Older Adults - Promoting Wellbeing, Health Outcomes, and Cost-Effectiveness}, editor = {Campbell, Elsa and Wosch, Thomas and Tamplin, Jeanette}, publisher = {Dr. Ludwig Reichert Verlag}, address = {Wiesbaden}, isbn = {978-3-7520-0887-6}, pages = {200}, language = {en} } @article{EickholtBakerClark, author = {Eickholt, Jasmin and Baker, Felicity A. and Clark, Imogen N.}, title = {Positive Psychology in Therapeutic Songwriting for People Living with Late-Life Depression - An Intervention Protocol}, series = {Brain Sciences}, volume = {12}, journal = {Brain Sciences}, number = {5}, publisher = {MDPI AG}, issn = {2076-3425}, doi = {10.3390/brainsci12050626}, abstract = {(1) Background: An increasing number of people are living with late-life depression, yet non-pharmacological treatments to help manage symptoms are limited. Two interventions, positive psychology and music therapeutic songwriting, have independently led to decreased depressive symptoms and an improved wellbeing in older people over 65 years old. (2) Methods: This article describes the development of a therapeutic songwriting program for people living with late-life depression. Knowledge from positive psychology and therapeutic songwriting was combined to maximize the potential benefits. (3) Results: The intervention program has ten weekly 45 min sessions that incorporate elements from positive psychology into therapeutic songwriting. Using a three-song approach encompassing ongoing musical practices, different positive psychology interventions were incorporated to support the experiences associated with a flourishing life. The intervention protocol for older people presented here is distinct from previous deficit-orientated approaches in that it shifts the focus to positive experiences, resources, and the individual's ability to decrease their own depressive symptoms and improve their wellbeing. (4) Discussion: This protocol presenting a therapeutic songwriting program meets the need to develop new non-pharmacological treatment options. However, further studies are needed to examine the feasibility and impact of the intervention program on late-life depression and wellbeing in older people.}, language = {en} }
