Abstract
Nostalgic Music Stimulation and Five-Sense Activities: A Cognitive Enhancement Intervention for Mild Cognitive Impairment
Pai-Lin Lee*, Hui-Hsiang Chang and Chih-Kun Huang
Objective: This study examines the impact of structured nostalgic music coupled with sensory activities on cognition, depression, emotion, and daily living abilities in mild cognitive impairment (MCI) individuals.
Method: A total of 49 MCI participants were divided into experimental (n=25, mean age ± SD= 73.1 ± 4.8) and control (n=24, mean age ± SD= 71.7 ± 3.9) groups across two sites. The experimental group underwent ten 2-hour sessions of nostalgic music stimulation twice weekly, with pre- and post-assessments utilizing cognitive, emotional, and functional scales.
Results: Significant improvements in cognition and depression were observed in the experimental group. Mixed ANOVA indicated a noteworthy time * group interaction in cognition.
Conclusion: Integrating nostalgic music and sensory activities effectively enhances cognitive abilities in MCI individuals.
