Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the effect of music therapy on the cognitive function and plasma BDNF levels of schizophrenia patients undergoing risperidone therapy. The study utilized quasi-experimental research and divided the 45 subjects into a treatment group and a control group. The treatment group received risperidone therapy and active and receptive music therapy for 4 weeks/12 sessions, while the control group received only risperidone therapy. Cognitive function was measured using the MoCA-Ina scale, and plasma BDNF levels were also measured. The study found that there was a significant increase in the MoCA-Ina score in both the treatment and control groups, but the treatment group had a higher increase. Additionally, the treatment group showed a significant increase in plasma BDNF levels, while the control group showed a decrease. Comparisons between the two groups showed that the addition of music therapy improved cognitive function, especially in the memory and abstraction domains. Furthermore, there was a significant correlation between changes in MoCA-Ina scores and plasma BDNF levels. Overall, combining music therapy with risperidone therapy can enhance the quality of life of schizophrenia patients by improving their cognitive function.
