Neuropsychological and Electrophysiological Effects of Dance Therapy With People With Severe Mental Disorders

"A single-centre prospective randomised controlled trial will be conducted with a minimum of 48 patients with severe mental disorder (SMD) who will be randomised into two groups, 1 intervention group receiving dance therapy (n=24) and 1 control group receiving no intervention or treatment (n=24).~In addition, there will be an intervention group of healthy people who will receive dance therapy (n=20).~All the tests, will be carried out with patients with SMD and only the EEG for healthy people, in order to determine their baseline state. The dance therapy program will last for 20 sessions over 10 weeks.~The 44 people in the two experimental groups will participate in a 10-week intervention program with 2 sessions per week in which they will work for 1 hour on memory, attention and executive functions through dance and movement, ending with 10 minutes of Mindfulness.~The 24 people in the control group will not receive any type of intervention."
