Journal of Neurology, Neurological Science and Disorders Case Report This paper reports about 2 patients with Huntington’s disease who benefi t greatly from music therapy while they are struggling with behavioral and emotional problems, due to the advanced stage of the disease. Huntington’s disease (HD) is an inherited neuropsychiatric disease with progressive neural degeneration of the basal ganglia and gradual atrophy of the frontal and temporal cortex. Symptoms are progressive and include motor, emotional and cognitive disturbance. There is as yet no cure for HD, nor can its progress be reversed or slowed down. All treatment is aimed at improving quality of life. #openaccesspublishing #openaccessjournalsonline #freeonlinejournals https://www.peertechz.com/articles/music-therapy-in-patients-with-huntington-s-disease-a-case-report
