Several studies have been conducted on the use ofmusic therapy
for patients with schizophrenia. Most previous studies, however,
have focused on providing a short-term, single music activity,mainly
for acute patients, utilizingsmall sample size, or examining the effects
of psychotic symptoms solely by patients’ self-assessments (Gold et
al., 2009; Peng et al., 2010). Few data assess the outcome of music
therapy by objective physiologic measures (Mӧesler et al., 2011). For
chronic patients with schizophrenia who have frontal lobe damage
and serious cognitive impairment resulting fromchronic progression
of the disorder, EEGwould bemore appropriate for assessing changes
in cerebral functions as a result of music therapy.
