abstract = {Objectives: To facilitate access to music-based
interventions (MBIs) for people with dementia in the
community, it is necessary to develop MBIs that can be used
by people with dementia and their informal caregivers at
home. In this pilot trial, we aimed to establish whether
using slow and fast music of positive valence in a
caregiver-delivered MBI results in differential effects.
Methods: 17 person-with-dementia-and-caregiver dyads were
randomised. Dyads underwent 6-week periods of two music
listening interventions, 'MBI A' (consisting of fast,
positively valenced music) and 'MBI B' (slow, positively
valenced music). The order of these was crossed-over. Half
of the dyads also completed a control intervention (6-week
care-as-usual). People with dementia listened on tablets or
CDs provided. Quantitative assessments included person with
dementia outcomes (cognition, well-being, quality of life)
and caregiver-reported outcomes (behavioural and psychiatric
symptom severity and related distress). Dyads' descriptions
of experiences were also recorded. Results: MBI A was
associated with superior delayed recall compared to MBI B
(MBI A- B: 1.04 $[95\%$ CI: 0.16, 1.92], p = .028, Hedge's
gav = 0.70). Dyads' descriptions highlight 'in-the-moment'
effects of the MBIs. Positive effects of MBI A included
heightened mood and movement (e.g. clapping), MBI B was
associated with relaxation. Conclusions: The positive effect
of MBI A on delayed recall performance suggests that fast,
positively valenced music may be explored further to support
cognition in people with dementia. Dyads' reports underline
the value of music listening to the momentary well-being of
people with dementia.},
