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

Of the 25 patients 21 had headaches. Since the Medical Resonance Therapy Music^® was part of a conventional treatment and there was no control group a result determinable in percentage was not possible. The treatment was successful: at the end 15 patients were free of headaches, 5 experienced a clear im­prove­ment and 1 patient did not get better. Looking to the protocols of the patients writ­ten before and after each MRT-Music^® treat­ment, it becomes obvious that MRT-Music^® had an essential share in this. Here an ex­em­plary evaluation which documents the in­flu­ence of the music.
