Music evokes emotions and memories, which is why musical intervention has therapeutic benefits for people with dementia or Alzheimer's disease. Musical interventions have been shown to decrease a patient's agitation and improve communication and caregiver relationships.
Dementia is an umbrella term used to describe the resulting disorder from brain disease or injury that is marked by loss of memory and cognitive abilities. Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause of dementia, accounting for 60% to 80% of cases.
