"Those caring for patients with dementia should make sure that they have access to music," said Beato.

A new report, published this month by the International Longevity Center, has found preliminary learnings to suggest that music can be a pain-relieving agent for people suffering from dementia – plus lessen the effects of anxiety, depression, and agitation.

“People with dementia often live in a silent world,” study lead Neil Utley from The Utley Foundation has said. “Yet our research is finding music can bring a person back to life … the ability to connect to music is an innate aspect of being human – having a diagnosis of dementia need not undermine this.”

The study found that dementia patients best responded to musical works they had first heard between the ages of 10 and 30.

Further research is underway to collaborate and support the findings.
