This is the second of three meetings that are part of Phase I of an NIH/Foundation for the National Institutes of Health (FNIH) project to develop evidence-based music therapies for brain disorders of aging.
This meeting will gather input from participants in the music therapy/music medicine, neuroscience, behavioral intervention development, clinical trial methodology, and patient advocacy/art organization communities. The NIH planning committee will assess, evaluate, and identify the most feasible and relevant functional outcome measures in domains relevant to brain disorders of aging: cognition, emotion, and motor and sensory functions. This core dataset of outcome measures will be used in future NIH-funded music-based intervention protocols.
