First seen Jun 10, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This completed study tested a combination of music therapy, health education, and physical exercise in 20 older adults (over 60) living in Valencia who felt unwanted loneliness. The goal was to see if these group activities could reduce loneliness and improve mental health. Because the study was very small and had no comparison group, the results are preliminary and need larger trials to confirm.
