Under investigation were 25 men and women at the age of 50 – 70 years with a beginning atherosclerotic encephalopathy.

The patients were treated with both relaxing and activating Medical Resonance Therapy Music. There were 10 treatments in total, each treatment lasting from 10 to 30 minutes. Starting with a habituation phase of 10 min­utes the treatment was expanded step by step up to 30 minutes. During the first three treat­ments relaxing MRT-Music was given, in the following four treatments the patients received activating MRT-Music; during the last three treatments they received in the first 10 min­utes relaxing and in the following 20 minutes activating MRT-Music.

During the whole time of treatment with Medi­cal Resonance Therapy Music the patients did not receive any medication effecting the central nervous system.

Results

Of the 25 patients 20 suffered from dizziness. Since the Medical Resonance Therapy Music was part of a conventional treatment and there was no control group a result de­ter­min­able in percentage was not possible. The treatment was successful: at the end 14 pa­tients were free of dizziness and 6 ex­peri­enced a clear improvement.

Looking to the protocols of the patients writ­ten before and after each MRT-Music treat­ment, it becomes obvious that MRT-Music had an essential share in this.

Here an exemplary evaluation of two sittings which documents the influence of the music.
