Musical Attention Control and Executive Function Training for Adults With MDD
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 4 Mar 2025
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The investigators have developed music-based cognitive training sessions derived from Neurologic Music Therapy (NMT) techniques. The music-based cognitive training sessions will address areas of attention and executive function, which appear to progress over time and worsen as an individual experiences more episodes of depression. The aim of this pilot is to test 8-weeks of music-based cognitive training to improve cognitive function among adults with major depressive disorder.
