Study Details

The study is an open-label clinical trial evaluating whether music therapy combined with conventional management reduces irritability and impulsivity in 15 patients with early-stage Huntington's disease. This pilot study aims to show the interest of alternative non-pharmacological measures such as a digital music therapy tool, adapted to an audience of Huntington's patients, to help manage the psychobehavioral symptoms frequently observed in this affection, and to avoid breakdowns due to caregiver exhaustion.
