Description
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is caused by an external force to the head, which disrupts normal brain functioning with severity ranging from a mild concussion to a coma state, or even death. Moderate to severe TBI is particularly associated with psychiatric and neurobehavioral issues, including personality changes, impulsivity, apathy, and depression, requiring the emergent need for rehabilitative care. In accordance with this need, a host of different interventions have been explored including, in a limited capacity, music. Recent literature has discussed the effectiveness of music for a range of psychopathologies, such as anxiety, apathy, and mood disorders, noting music’s ability to induce feelings of pleasure and its relationship to brain reward circuitry. However, whether music can effectively mitigate the social, emotional, and behavioral difficulties of TBI is currently unclear. Addressing these concerns, this systematic review investigates the impact of music-based interventions on psychiatric and psychological outcomes of TBI. We searched five databases (MEDLINE via PubMed, Embase, APA PsycINFO, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and CINAHL Complete), and the population of our interest was restricted to adults (age 18+) with TBI. Two independent raters will review the literature and evaluate the quality of the evidence to provide a synthesis and interpretation about the efficacy of music-based interventions in TBI.
