An Iowa Grad Explores Music’s Role in Dementia Care: BTN LiveB1G

When dealing with patients who suffer from Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia, many times it’s hard to know what kinds of treatments are actually making a difference.

Thanks to work by recent University of Iowa Ph.D graduate Alaine Reschke-Hernandez, one path to making progress with these usually elderly patients has proven effective: music therapy.

Reschke-Hernandez piloted a study that helps provide research-based results pertaining to the effects of music therapy on patients with Alzheimer’s and other dementia.
