A study recently published in an August edition of Medical Hypotheses found that music therapy can benefit patients with neuropsyhciatric disorders often caused by a traumatic brain injury accident.

Additionally, “the brain grows in response to musical training in the way a muscle responds to exercise,” according to medical researchers at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.” However, researchers are still calling for more research, but several conditions are already exploring music therapy as a treatment for cognitive rehabilitation, some of these TBI conditions include:

* stroke

* schizophrenia

* Huntington’s disease

* Alzheimer?disease

Traumatic Brain Injuries

According to a September 2007 issue of Behavioral Pharmacology, a study was conducted to determine if those affected with psychiatric disorders, Parkinson?disease as well as other brain-related conditions would respond to music. Injured mice were studied by administering music therapy and the results concluded that “music exposure significantly enhanced learning”. The study also suggested that the findings might also “help in several central nervous system pathologies.”
