音乐疗法在阿尔茨海默病治疗中的应用方案：国际研究进展与实践启示

Application of Music Therapy in the Treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease: International Research Advances and Practical Implications

摘要: 随着全球人口老龄化趋势的加剧，阿尔茨海默病已成为严重威胁老年人群健康的神经退行性疾病，给社会和家庭带来了沉重的负担。尽管药物治疗能够在一定程度上缓解症状，但其副作用明显且无法逆转疾病的病理进程，因此非药物干预手段受到了广泛关注。音乐疗法，作为一种安全且有效的非药物干预方式，其在阿尔茨海默病治疗中的应用证据日益丰富。本文系统梳理了音乐疗法在国际上的研究进展，本文系统梳理了音乐疗法在国际上的研究进展，重点报告并分析关键研究的设计、样本量、干预细节、对照组、主要结局指标和偏倚风险，从干预方案类型、作用机制、实施障碍及优化策略等方面进行了深入分析，并结合国内外实践经验，构建了待验证的理论模型的音乐疗法应用方案，同时展望了其未来的发展方向。研究表明，音乐疗法能够通过激活大脑神经网络、调节神经递质及炎症反应，有效改善阿尔茨海默病患者的认知功能、情绪状态及社交参与度，且联合干预与本土化适配能够进一步提升其治疗效果。未来，需通过大样本多中心试验来完善标准化方案，并结合现代科技与跨学科合作，推动音乐疗法在阿尔茨海默病治疗中的规范化与规模化应用。

Abstract: With the accelerating global trend of population aging, Alzheimer’s disease has emerged as a severe neurodegenerative disorder posing significant threats to elderly health, imposing substantial burdens on both society and families. While pharmacological treatments can alleviate symptoms to some extent, their notable side effects and inability to reverse disease progression have led to widespread attention toward non-pharmacological interventions. Music therapy, as a safe and effective non-pharmacological approach, has garnered increasing evidence support for its application in Alzheimer’s management. This article systematically reviews international research advancements in music therapy, focusing on key studies’ design, sample sizes, intervention details, control groups, primary outcome measures, and bias risks. It conducts in-depth analyses across intervention types, mechanisms of action, implementation challenges, and optimization strategies, while developing a theoretical framework for future validation of music therapy protocols based on domestic and international clinical experience, alongside outlining potential future directions. Studies demonstrate that music therapy effectively improves cognitive function, emotional well-being, and social engagement in Alzheimer’s patients by activating neural networks, modulating neurotransmitters, and regulating inflammatory responses; combined interventions tailored to local contexts further enhance therapeutic efficacy. Future efforts should focus on refining standardized protocols through large-scale multicenter trials, integrating modern technologies, and fostering interdisciplinary collaboration to promote standardized and widespread adoption of music therapy in Alzheimer’s treatment.
