b waves primarily occur during an awakened state and increase
with tension and stress. Soothing music compared with stimulating
music did not trigger a significant change in b waves in participants
(Lee, 2011; Leem, 2001). When music therapy was applied to young
healthy adults, Kim (2004) also reported no significant differences
in b waves. The present study used various music activities in
combination with familiar songs that the participants preferred. It
may be possible that such musical choices activated a waves from
the participants’ frontal, parietal, and temporal sites while helping
the participants remain calm without significantly affecting b
waves. Further studies are required to explore the effect of music
therapy on b waves.
We also observed a significant difference in overall cognitive
functioning for patients with schizophrenia who underwent the
group music therapy. This result was similar to that of a study from
Mӧesler et al. where music therapy was shown to have improved
cognitive function in patients with schizophrenia. In MMSE subcategories,
a significant increase was found in attention and
calculation, and language and construction in the experimental
group when compared with those of the control group. Kim (2007)
and Cha (2002) also reported that music therapy is effective for
improving and maintaining attention in patients with schizophrenia.
Glickson and Cohen (2000) found that music therapy is
effective for enhancing language functioning in patients with
schizophrenia, such as an ability to use correct words, language
learning, memorization, and speaking rate. Our results suggest a
partial improvement in cognitive functioning, such as concentration
and language function.
