Music Therapy for Epilepsy

Published Online:January 30, 2017https://doi.org/10.1026/0933-6885/a000175

Abstract

Abstract. Researchers are increasingly looking toward nondrug therapeutic interventions in controlling seizures in epilepsy. Music therapy has shown potential therapeutic benefit in cognitive science. Here we focus on the evidence base for its utility as a therapy in epilepsy.


Musiktherapie bei Epilepsie

Zusammenfassung. Forscher lenken ihren Blick zunehmend auf nicht-medikamentöse Interventionen, um epileptische Anfälle zu kontrollieren. Musiktherapie hat sich im Bereich kognitiver Wissenschaften als potentiell hilfreiches Therapeutikum erwiesen. Hier konzentrieren wir uns auf den evidenzbasierten Nutzen von Musiktherapie bei Epilepsie.
