Study Details

Clinically Designed Improvisatory Music (CDIM) is a form of improvised music based on calm-inducing sound parameters which brought relief to our cohort of neurology patients. As a direct sound-based approach, CDIM does not rely on autobiographical memory and may have wider applicability and generalizability. We wish to examine if CDIM decreases anxiety in 15 cognitively healthy individuals and 15 Alzheimer Disease patients with anxiety (AD-A).
