Background: Physical, cognitive and mood-behavioral disturbances are very common in people with multiple sclerosis (MS) representing a relevant disease burden. Recently, in this field, several studies investigated the role of music therapy (MT) as a complementary therapeutic approach especially in terms of rehabilitation strategy. Objectives: The aim of this review is to report and discuss the effectiveness of various music-based interventions (MBIs) for clinical outcomes in MS patients. Data sources: All English medical papers registered in the Web of Knowledge, PubMed, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect from March 1999 to March 2019. Inclusion and exclusion criteria: We selected all the articles concerning MBIs in MS including papers that dealt with human samples and excluding non-human samples, reviews and case reports. Results: Out of 46 articles, we selected 24 papers of which 13 completely following the inclusion criteria were evaluated for the present analysis. Discussion: We explored the efficacy of several MT programs, taking into account the different aspects of application feasibility in the clinical management of MS patients and the future challenges.

Abstract
Background: Physical, cognitive and mood-behavioral disturbances are very common in people with multiple sclerosis (MS) representing a relevant disease burden. Recently, in this field, several studies investigated the role of music therapy (MT) as a complementary therapeutic approach especially in terms of rehabilitation strategy. Objectives: The aim of this review is to report and discuss the effectiveness of various music-based interventions (MBIs) for clinical outcomes in MS patients. Data sources: All English medical papers registered in the Web of Knowledge, PubMed, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect from March 1999 to March 2019. Inclusion and exclusion criteria: We selected all the articles concerning MBIs in MS including papers that dealt with human samples and excluding non-human samples, reviews and case reports. Results: Out of 46 articles, we selected 24 papers of which 13 completely following the inclusion criteria were evaluated for the present analysis. Discussion: We explored the efficacy of several MT programs, taking into account the different aspects of application feasibility in the clinical management of MS patients and the future challenges.
