Under investigation were 25 men and women at the age of 50 – 70 years with a beginning arteriosclerotic encephalopathy.

The patients were treated with both relaxing and activating Medical Resonance Therapy Music^®.

There were 10 treatments in total, each treat­ment lasting from 10 to 30 minutes. Starting with a habituation phase of 10 minutes the treatment was expanded step by step up to 30 minutes. During the first three treatments relaxing MRT-Music^® was given, in the fol­low­ing four treatments the patients received ac­ti­vat­ing MRT-Music; during the last three treat­ments they received in the first 10 minutes re­lax­ing and in the following 20 minutes ac­ti­vat­ing MRT-Music^®.

During the whole time of treatment with Medi­cal Resonance Therapy Music^® the patients did not receive any medication effecting the central nervous system.


Results

In most of the physical, psychological, sen­soric and mental performance parameter – except the parameter heart rate and anxiety – there were only slight but not statistically sig­nifi­cant changes registered after each treat­ment. But at the end of the 10 treatments clear and significant changes in comparison to the be­gin­ning of the treatment had become obvious. This indicates a training effect with the Medi­cal Resonance Therapy Music^®, which proba­bly will be of great value in chronic diseases.

Regarding concentration the performance had improved after 10 treatments with MRT-Music^® by 18% on average.
