However, previous studies on music-based interventions show variability in design and results, hampering clear understanding of their beneficial effects. Particularly, the specific benefits of music compared to similar non-musical activities remain unclear.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Here, we piloted the feasibility of a randomized cross-over design to isolate music-specific positive effects of an intervention from general, nonspecific effects of participating in a stimulating group activity, assessing outcomes both in people with dementia and caregivers.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>15 nursing home residents diagnosed with dementia participated in both a music and a conversation activity, which only differed with respect to the presence of music. Before and after five weeks of intervention, we assessed behavioral symptoms and caregiver burden, using the Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI-NH), and wellbeing, using the Quality of Life in Late-Stage Dementia (QUALID) scale. During the activities we assessed engagement (Menorah Park Engagement Scale; MPES) and affect (Observed Emotion Rating Scale; OERS).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The singing activity reduced professional caregiver burden, while the conversation activity increased participant wellbeing.
