[Purpose] This study examined the immediate effects of keyboard-based music therapy on
Probe Reaction Time. [Subjects and Methods] Probe Reaction Time was determined in 10
subjects by self-evaluation before and after music therapy intervention. The Probe
Reaction Time was separately measured 4 times. [Results] After completion of music therapy
intervention, the Probe Reaction Time in the 10 subjects was significantly decreased.
[Conclusion] The results suggest that keyboard-based music therapy is an effective and
novel treatment, and should be applied in clinical practice.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
