Background As a neurodegenerative disease, Alzheimer's disease (AD) has a high incidence rate and rapid development, which seriously affects the quality of life of patients. In recent years, research on music therapy intervention in AD has gradually increased, lacking effective systematic evaluation and analysis. Objective A meta-analysis was conducted on the intervention effects of music in the treatment of cognition, emotion, living ability and sleep disorders in AD patients. Methods Randomized controlled trials (RCT) on the intervention effect of music therapy methods on Alzheimer's patients were searched by computer in CNKI, Wanfang Data, VIP, Medline, Elsevier Science Direct, PubMed, and Embase from inception to February 2023, and the data was analyzed using RevMan 5.3 software. Results The study included 15 RCTs with a total of 1 077 patients. The results of Meta-analysis showed that the intervention effects of music therapy on cognitive function (MD=4.35, 95%CI=1.64 to 7.05, Z=3.15, P=0.002), negative emotion (SMD=-0.71, 95%CI=-1.26 to -0.15, Z=2.51, P=0.01), life ability (SMD=-0.91, 95%CI=-1.55 to -0.27, Z=2.77, P=0.006) in the music therapy group was better than that of control group. There was no significant difference in sleep disorder intervention between the two groups (MD=-1.04, 95%CI=-3.10 to 1.02, Z=0.99, P=0.32). Subgroup analysis showed that the music therapy groups with treatment period was
