[0002] Depression is a complex emotional mental and psychological disorder disease including various mental symptoms and physical symptoms, which is caused by mental stimulation, emotional unsmoothness, stagnation of Qi and phlegm, and covering of the mind, and is often related to congenital heredity and special character. In addition to mental symptoms such as low mood, loss of interest, slow thinking, and self-evaluation too low, depression also includes physical discomforts such as fatigue, insomnia, dizziness, headache, thirst, throat discomfort, palpitation, chest tightness, stomachache, abdominal distension, loss of appetite, decreased sexual desire, and irregular bowel movement. At present, the incidence of depression has a tendency of increasing year by year, and in the future, depression will become the second disease threatening human health. In the treatment of depression, drug therapy is usually adopted, and the main research direction is to improve the drug efficacy and shorten the treatment course, so as to promote the patient to recover as soon as possible. In addition, music therapy for auxiliary conditioning is also an effective therapy.

[0003] Since the 18th century, people have conducted a large number of scientific researches on the influence of music on human physical and mental health. As a special information similar to and different from language and other sounds, music can produce good physiological effects on various systems of human body. Music acts on the cerebral cortex, and has effects on the subthalamic part and the edge system, improves the excitability and activity of the cortical nerve, improves the emotional state, eliminates the tension state caused by external mental and psychological factors, regulates hormone secretion, blood circulation, gastrointestinal peristalsis, metabolism, etc., so as to improve the stress resistance, and change the emotional experience and physical function state of human. British doctor John Amstrong believes that music has the effects of improving interest, relieving pain, and expelling diseases, and has a calming effect on emotional anxiety and depression; Professor K·Bruseia, a famous music therapist, believes that music therapy is a systematic intervention process, in which the therapist uses various forms of music experience and methods developed in the treatment process to help people achieve health purposes.

[0155]

[0156]

[0157] 2. Music for selection:

[0158]

[0159] Fast tempo music corresponds to slow tempo music, which mainly refers to fast and slow tempo of music in basic music theory, or fast tempo music and slow tempo music; in basic music theory, music tempo is divided into largo, andante, moderato (also translated as medium speed), allegro, presto, etc.; in general, allegro and presto are fast tempo music (or fast music), allegro specifically refers to 120-168 beats per minute, largo and andante are slow tempo music (or slow tempo music), largo specifically refers to 40-60 beats per minute, and andante specifically refers to 66-76 beats per minute.

[0160] 3. Selection of human groups:

[0161] 40 patients with depression were selected, aged 18-50 years old, and met all the following conditions:

[0162] ① The Hamilton depression scale (HAMD) score is not less than 18;

[0163] ② No antidepressants were taken one week before treatment, and signed informed consent;

[0164] ③ Junior high school or above;

[0165] ④ Good compliance;

[0166] ⑤ Exclude severe organic disease, alcohol and drug dependence, pregnant and lactating women, those with past drug allergies, severe aggressive behavior and suicide attempts.

[0167] 40 patients were randomly divided into two groups, 20 patients in the treatment group and 20 patients in the control group, and male and female were as evenly distributed as possible.

[0168] 4. Experimental scheme:

[0169] Each patient in the treatment group needs a family member to accompany, and two staff members cooperate to complete the therapy work, one of whom is an operator and the other is an assistant.

[0170] First, the staff demonstrates the use method and sound of the percussion instrument of the first item, and the patient selects one; then, the staff randomly plays one of the four types of music in the second item, and plays with the selected percussion instrument, each for 1 minute, and the patient selects the favorite music. After selecting the percussion instrument and music, the patient plays with the selected percussion instrument and music, with 5-10 minutes of rest and interruption in the middle, and the cumulative playing time is 30 minutes; if the patient voluntarily gives up during the process, the patient can reselect the percussion instrument or music, and the cumulative playing time is 30 minutes, and the process can be ended; the process is performed three times a week (once every other day), continuously for one month, and the patient can reselect the percussion instrument or music each time, or continue to use the previous percussion instrument and music.

[0171] The control group is not treated.

[0172] 5. Therapeutic effect evaluation method:

[0173] The patients in the treatment group and the control group are evaluated by the Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) (A questionnaire) and the Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) (B questionnaire) once a week, and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) is scored at the beginning and end of each month to evaluate the sleep improvement of the patients.

[0174] 6. Result analysis:

[0175] 6.1 The evaluation results of the patients in the control group show that the results of the Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD), the Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA), and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) do not change significantly over time, and are determined to be ineffective.

[0176] 6.2 The evaluation results of the patients in the treatment group are analyzed as follows:

[0177] 6.2.1 The evaluation results of the patients in the treatment group are shown in Table 1.

[0178] Table 1 Evaluation results of the patients in the treatment group

[0179]

[0180]

[0181] As can be seen from Table 1, under the premise that the dispersion of the evaluation results at each time is not significantly different, the average score of each evaluation of the A questionnaire and the B questionnaire is lower than the previous one, indicating that the treatment method has a therapeutic effect on depression.

[0182] 6.2.2 Analysis of the same rate of score reduction of the A-B questionnaire evaluation results of the patients in the treatment group

[0183] (1) Variable naming

[0184] The first score of the A questionnaire is taken as the base, and the difference between the first score and the nth score of the A questionnaire is divided by the first score to obtain the reduction ratio of the nth score of the A questionnaire compared with the first score of the A questionnaire, and n is 2, 3 or 4;

[0185] The first score of the B questionnaire is taken as the base, and the difference between the first score and the nth score of the B questionnaire is divided by the first score to obtain the reduction ratio of the nth score of the B questionnaire compared with the first score of the B questionnaire, and n is 2, 3 or 4;

[0186] The symbols and meanings of the variables are shown in Table 2.

[0187] Table 2 Symbols and meanings of variables

[0188]

[0189]

[0190] (2) Descriptive statistical analysis of variable data

[0191] There are 20 patients in the treatment group, among which the third score and the fourth score of the A-B questionnaire of the 20th patient are missing.

[0192] In order to facilitate the observation of the distribution of each variable, the descriptive statistical analysis of each variable is shown in Table 3.

[0193] Table 3 Descriptive statistical analysis of variable data

[0194] Variable Sample size Mean* Standard deviation* c1 20 0.146755 0.2794170 c2 19 0.227506 0.3438888 c3 19 0.364655 0.3177304 d1 20 0.254637 0.3029813 d2 19 0.367003 0.3016074 d3 19 0.414788 0.3372485

[0195] The mean and standard deviation of all sample variable values are calculated according to the variable values of the single sample.

[0196] As shown in Table 3, the average values of variables c1 and c2 are below 0.25, and the average values of the remaining variables are between 0.25 and 0.5.

[0197] (3) Single sample t test

[0198] The quartile solution provides that points greater than 75% or less than 25% are outliers, so the person skilled in the art generally considers that the reduction rate of the scores after treatment compared with the scores before treatment in the Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) and the Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) is ≥75% for recovery, the reduction rate is 50%-74% for significant progress, the reduction rate is 25%-49% for effectiveness, and the reduction rate is <25% for invalidity.

[0199] Accordingly, the hypothesis test is divided into the following three, with the significance of each hypothesis test judging the range of each variable.

[0200] testl assumes that the average of the same period score decline ratio is not lower than 75% (0.75);

[0201] test2 assumes that the average of the same period score decline ratio is not lower than 50% (0.50);

[0202] test3 assumes that the average of the same period score decline ratio is not lower than 25% (0.25).

[0203] The results of the single sample t-test of each variable of the treatment group are shown in Table 4.

[0204] Table 4 Hypothesis test results (a = 0.05)

[0205]

[0206] From Table 4, it can be concluded with 95% certainty that under the same conditions, the range of the average of d3 is 0.5-0.75, and the range of the average of other variables is 0.25-0.5; that is, the patients in the treatment group evaluated by the A questionnaire have a 95% probability of considering that each subsequent score is 25%-50% lower than the first score; the patients in the treatment group evaluated by the B questionnaire have a 95% probability of considering that the fourth score is 50%-75% lower than the first score, and the remaining scores are 25%-50% lower than the first score. Combined with the aforementioned Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) and Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) scale evaluation of effectiveness, the specific effects are listed in Table 5.

[0207] Table 5

[0208]

[0209]

[0210] From Table 5, the A questionnaire evaluation results show that the treatment effect has been maintained in an effective state; the B questionnaire evaluation results show that the treatment effect is effective at the beginning, and the effect is significantly improved at the fourth evaluation.

[0211] 6.2.3 Analysis of the A-B questionnaire evaluation results of the treatment group patients

[0212] (1) Variable naming

[0213] The difference between the nth-1 score and the nth score of the A questionnaire is divided by the nth-1 score to obtain the reduction ratio of the nth score of the A questionnaire compared to the nth-1 score of the A questionnaire, n is 2, 3 or 4;

[0214] The difference between the n-th score and the (n-1)-th score of the B questionnaire is divided by the (n-1)-th score, to obtain the reduction ratio of the n-th score of the B questionnaire compared with the (n-1)-th score of the B questionnaire, n is 2, 3 or 4;

[0215] The symbols and meanings of the variables are shown in Table 6.

[0216] Symbols and meanings of the variables in Table 6

[0217]

[0218]

[0219] (2) Descriptive statistical analysis of variable data

[0220] There are 20 patients in the treatment group, and the third score and the fourth score of the A-B questionnaire of the 20th patient are both missing.

[0221] For the convenience of observing the distribution of each variable, descriptive statistical analysis is performed on each variable, as shown in Table 7.

[0222] Descriptive statistical analysis of variable data in Table 7

[0223] Variable Sample size Minimum value Maximum value Mean Standard deviation e1 20 -0.3846 0.6111 0.146755 0.2794170 e2 19 -0.1429 0.5000 0.094470 0.1745230 e3 19 -0.5000 0.8750 0.191755 0.3037185 f1 20 -0.4667 0.7059 0.254637 0.3029813 f2 19 -0.1200 0.4000 0.139512 0.1550874 f3 19 -0.4545 1.0000 0.121064 0.3473401

[0224] As shown in Table 7, the mean of each variable is greater than 0, and the standard deviation ranges from 0 to 0.3 (rounded).

[0225] (3) Single sample t-test

[0226] The test4 hypothesis assumes that the average of the month-on-month score reduction rate is greater than 0;

[0227] The data range of the variable is determined by the significance of the test4 hypothesis test, and the specific results are shown in Table 8.

[0228] Hypothesis test results (α=0.05) in Table 8

[0229]

[0230]

[0231] As shown in Table 8, there is no sufficient reason to reject the original hypothesis, and the mean of each variable is greater than 0; that is, there is a 95% probability that the change rate of each score is significantly greater than 0, regardless of whether the A questionnaire or the B questionnaire is used to evaluate the patients in the treatment group, indicating that each treatment has an effect.

[0232] 6.2.4 Evaluation results of Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) of patients in the treatment group

[0233] The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index scores of the patients in the treatment group before and after treatment were subjected to paired t-test, and the results are shown in Table 9.

[0234] Table 9 Paired t-test results

[0235]

[0236] As can be seen from Table 9, the sleep index of the patients in the treatment group before and after treatment is significantly different, indicating that there is a treatment effect.

[0237] Obviously, the above examples are only examples for clearly illustrating, but not limitation to the embodiments. For those skilled in the art, other different forms of changes or variations can be made on the basis of the above description. Here, it is not necessary and also impossible to enumerate all the embodiments. The obvious changes or variations derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of the present application.
