n). The search was limited to scientific articles; only articles in English lan-
guage; only systematic reviews; articles published from January 2011 to January
2021; articles with full text available; articles about residents who were clinical-
ly diagnosed with dementia; articles on study intervention: music therapy; out-
comes of study: reported at least one effect of music therapy on neuropsychiat-
ric symptoms; reviews were required to have an AMSTAR rating of five points
or greater (Table 1).

Study identification and selection
Without the use of pre-defined exclusion criteria, we obtained 9.327 titles. Of
these, the most articles were in the Medline database, namely 3.263, the second
database with the most articles was Willey Online Library 1.054 articles, in the
CINHAL there were 872 articles, and the least results were in the ScienceDirect
database, there were 520 articles. After applying such as time limit, removal
of duplicates, full availability of text and articles in English, the number of re-
sults was reduced to 549 articles. We further removed an additional 127 articles
based on analysis of article titles and/or abstracts due to population, which did
not include residents or patients who were clinically diagnosed with dementia,
thus removing and additional 100 articles. In addition, 64 additional articles
were excluded because we could not accurately understand or the effect of mu-
sic therapy was unclear. We removed an additional 15 articles because authors
use other types of non-pharmacological therapy on decreasing neuropsychiat-
ric symptoms of patients with dementia. At finally phase we evaluated twenty
articles with a Measurement Tool to Assess systematic review (AMSTAR). On-
ly twelve articles met other inclusion criteria and get more than five points or
greater by AMSTER.
