詳細な説明
Analysis of recordings captured during drum circles will be conducted using music information retrieval, pulse clarity, psychological ethnography, and similar methods. Investigators hypothesize that (1) the communal drum circles will lead to a decrease in dynamic pain (e.g. sensitivity to repeated stimuli), (2) the ability of the brain to change and adapt will be enhanced in the drumming group compared to the control group, (3) change in and synchrony of heart rate between participants might underlie the impact of communal drumming on pain, and (4) group drumming will increase circulating oxytocin and serotonin and that the modulation of these neurohormones contribute to decreased pain phenomenon.
The primary objective of this study is to investigate how group drumming affects pain responses and nociceptive function in individuals with mild dementia or mild cognitive impairment.
The secondary objectives of this study are to:
- Use quantitative sensory testing (QST) and blood sampling to investigate potential effects of communal drumming on static and dynamic pain and endocrine hormone variability in individuals with dementia.
- Understand neurophysiological changes (i.e. changes in EEG assessments) that may underlie the effects of an 8-week drum circle on pain, endocrinology, and variations in neurobiology in those living with dementia.
- Analyze phase synchrony between dementia participants and their caregivers before and after the intervention to assess shifts in brain synchrony dynamics.
- Analyze heart rate and heart rate variability parameters during group drumming and characterize changes in autonomic nervous system activity within and across group drum sessions.
- Analyze audio recording data to identify behavioral and auditory synchrony dynamics throughout the communal drumming intervention.
In-person sessions of the study will be conducted by Yale IRB-approved study team members at the Connecticut Mental Health Center (CMHC; 34 Park St, New Haven, CT 06519).
Each participant pair, consisting of one person with dementia and chronic pain (or without chronic pain in the control group) and their caregiver/study partner will take part in ten weekly sessions.
During Week 1, participants will arrive to the CMHC to undergo deep phenotyping of pain using QST, blood sampling, brain activity recordings will be performed for baseline and plasticity analysis, and participants will fill out psychometric assessments (~3 hours). Participants will also be asked to complete communication/language assessments.
During Weeks 2 through 9, participants in the experimental group will be asked to arrive to the CMHC to participate in 45-minute to 1-hour drumming sessions. Participants in the control group will participate in a listening activity. All participants with be asked to complete psychometric assessments before and after the drumming sessions.
During Week 10, participants will return to the CMHC for deep phenotyping of pain, bloodwork, EEG data collection, and psychometric surveys, and communication/language assessments.
Collection of these data allow investigators to assess the impact of communal drumming on brain activity, heart rate, pain perception, psychological symptoms, blood hormone levels, and communication/language.

Change in pain phenotyping using a Quantitative Sensory Testing (QST)
時間枠：Weeks 1 and 10, an average of 9 weeks apart
|
Pain phenotyping before and after the intervention using a Quantitative Sensory Testing (QST).
QST will be used to measure pain threshold (the point at which pain is first felt) and pain tolerance (the point at which the participant discontinues the test due to pain).
The battery includes several nociceptive modalities such as pressure, mechanical, heat, and cold stimuli.
The main outcome will be a composite pain sensitivity measure, integrating data from the QST battery.
