Parkinson's disease is a degenerative neurological disease that affects around 3% of people over 60 years of age in Brazil. It is characterized by motor symptoms (which include bradykinesia, resting tremor and/or rigidity with asymmetric onset, and postural instability) and multiple non-motor symptoms. Several non-pharmacological therapeutic approaches have been developed to reduce the symptoms of Parkinson's disease, including music therapy, as music can help recover functions in the brain damaged or afflicted by diseases. Therefore, the present study aimed to review studies that demonstrate the use of music therapy as a treatment for Parkinson's disease and its effects. A systematic review used the keywords “music therapy” and “Parkinson”, using the filter for studies published between 2017 and 2023. 32 articles were identified, and after applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, they were reduced to 12. The results demonstrated great efficiency in using music therapy as a treatment for the symptoms of Parkinson's disease. Some studies used the technique of rhythmic auditory stimulation due to the auditory-motor interaction (auditory and motor cortex are recruited when listening to music). Other studies investigated the neurological mechanisms involved in treating gait using neurological music therapy. Based on the results found, it is possible to conclude that music therapy is an effective adjuvant approach for treating the symptoms of Parkinson's disease.
