Question

9．A new study finds that combining music therapy（療法）  with a standard treatment for depression-medication，plus psychotherapy and counseling （輔導(dǎo)）-improves patient outcomes．
Researchers invited 79people between the ages of 18and 50years old who had been diagnosed with depression.33of the participants were offered 20music therapy sessions，in addition to their usual treatment for depression．The other 46participants received stan dard treatment，and acted as the control group．The one-on-one music therapy sessions each lasted 60 minutes and took place twice a week．Trained music therapists helped each participant to improvise（即興創(chuàng)作）music．
On average，each participant attended 18 music therapy sessions，29 individuals（88 percent）attended at least 15 sessions．The participants in both groups were followed up at three and six months and assessed for symptoms of depression and anxiety．
 In the final analysis，researchers discovered that after three months of participation，individuals who received music therapy showed greatly fewer symptoms of depression and anxiety，and scored better on general functioning．Although improvements still remainded after six months，the difference between the groups was no longer statistically significant．
Co-researcher Christian Gold，Ph．D．，explained the study findings："Our trial has shown that music therapy，when added to standard care including  medication，psychotherapy and counseling（商討），helps people to improve their levels of depression and anxiety．Music therapy has specific qualities that allow people to express themselves and interact in  a non-verbal way-even when they cannot find the words to describe their inner experiences．"
 Given the success of the study，researchers say it needs to be repeated with a larger sample of people，and that further research is needed to assess the cost-effectiveness of sucha therapy．
Outside experts believe this study shows that music therapy is an effective addition to traditional therapy and improves outcomes．Mike Crawford，M．D．，said，"This is a high-quality randomized（隨機(jī)的）trialof music therapy specifically for depression，and the results suggest that it can improve the mood and general functioning of people with depression"．
