Descripción
Binaural auditory beats could be a potential method to assist pharmacological treatment in neurological diseases, such as Parkinson's disease (PD). Despite pharmacology improves several symptoms, it has important side effects and loss efficiency (long-term). For that reason, complementary methods such as acoustic therapy could play an important role. Reviewing the existing literature in this context, there is no consistent methodology to apply sound to patients and we propose a methodology for a longitudinal pilot study with 12 Parkinson Disease?s patients who participated in a 24 weeks listening program. We collected data from patients in three sessions: before, in the middle and in the end of the listening program. Every session consisted in: an interview, a set of specific questionnaires and electroencephalography recording. This methodology proposes a further step in the knowledge of the neuronal mechanisms involved in the processing of this kind of acoustic signals.
