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

In most of the physical, psychological, sen­soric and mental performance parameters – except the parameters heart rate and anxiety – there were only slight but not statistically sig­nifi­cant changes registered after each treat­ment. But at the end of the 10 treatments clear changes in comparison to the beginning of the treatment had become obvious. This in­di­cates a training effect with the Medical Resonance Therapy Music^®, which probably will be of great value in chronic diseases.

Regarding reaction precision the performance had improved after 10 treatments with MRT-Music^® by 18% on average.
