Analysis of the Application Effect of Music Therapy in the Rehabilitation of Elderly Patients with Chronic Diseases
The process of social aging is accelerating continuously, and the risk of chronic diseases among the elderly is gradually increasing. During the long-term recovery stage of various diseases, various psychological problems often accompany. The limitations of the conventional rehabilitation model in practical application have become increasingly prominent. Music therapy is a type of non-pharmacological intervention, which is safe and does not require high costs. Combined with current cutting-edge neuroscientific technologies and intelligent means, it can effectively alleviate the symptoms of diseases, improve the psychological state of the elderly, and also enhance the acceptance of rehabilitation intervention by the elderly population to a certain extent. Based on the actual operations in clinical practice and the latest frontier research results in recent years, this paper focuses on discussing its effective application methods, hoping to provide practical references for grassroots medical institutions and elderly care institutions to carry out related rehabilitation services, and helping to improve the quality of chronic disease rehabilitation for the elderly.
