Improvement of the Mental State in the Intervals
between Epileptic Seizures

Investigated were 56 severely epileptic ill patients in a special hospital for epilepsy.

In the experimental group 34 of these patients received in addition to the conventional therapies a treatment with Medical Resonance Therapy Music^®, and in the control group 22 patients received the conventional drug treatment only.

The psychological investigations were performed by the help of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI).

Medical Resonance Therapy Music^® Group (Experimental Group)

Changes in the interparoxysmal state were documented in 67,7% of the patients of this group as positive, in 23,5% as undefined and in 8,8% as negative. Most sensitive for the positive effects of the Medical Resonance Therapy Music^® were the following MMPI-parameters:

asthenic traits

paranoids traits

hypochondria

aggressiveness

depressive states

the general degree of the illness

In this, the Medical Resonance Therapy Music^® had the strongest healing effect on the psycho-pathological syndrome, which was predominant in the status of the individual patient.

Control Group

In this group the changes of the interparoxysmal state were recorded in 36,4% of the observations as positive, in 31,8% as undefined and in 31,8% as negative.
