三名初步诊断为阿尔茨海默型痴呆症的男性受试者参加了为期15个月的每周30分钟的音乐治疗课程。受试者从堪萨斯托皮卡的科尔默-奥尼尔退伍军人事务医疗中心的护理单位的29名居民中随机选择。所有受试者的功能低下，需要持续的监督行为管理。数据是在音乐治疗计划的最后11周内收集的，包括交流，观看他人，唱歌，与乐器互动和坐着。尽管受试者在15个月的病程中认知、身体和社会能力明显恶化，但项目后11周的数据表明，他们继续在结构化的群体环境中参与音乐活动。数据分析显示，音乐参与在11周的过程中得到了维持。受试者在每30分钟的会议期间一直坐在椅子上，没有身体限制。不管他们的恶化，科目能够与他人在一个群体的背景下。对于大多数人来说，这是他们一周中唯一可以以某种可接受的形式与他人成功互动的时间。
Three male subjects with a primary diagnosis of Alzheimer's-type dementia participated in weekly, 30-minute music therapy sessions for 15 months. Subjects were selected randomly from among 29 residents of a nursing unit at Colmery-O'Neil Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Topeka, Kansas. All subjects were low functioning and required consistent supervision for behavioral management. Data were gathered in the last 11 weeks of the music therapy program for communicating, watching others, singing, interacting with an instrument, and sitting. Though the subjects deteriorated markedly in their cognitive, physical, and social capacities over the course of their disease in 15 months, data in the latter 11 weeks of the program indicated that they continued to participate in music activities in a structured group context. Data analyses showed that music participation was maintained over the course of the 11 weeks. Subjects consistently sat in chairs without physical restraints for the duration of each 30-minute session. Regardless of their deterioration, subjects were able to function with others in a group context. For most, this was the only time in their week when they could successfully interact with others in some acceptable form.
