Neurologic music therapy (NMT) is a method of music therapy for improving the cognitive, sensory, and motor functions impaired by neurological diseases, and some researchers reported that the therapy involved the patients understanding the music through stimulation of their cognitive, emotional, and sensorimotor functions . The NMT applied in this study consisted of therapeutic singing and MIT.
A growing body of behavioral evidence prevails the efficacy of music training on various speech and language impairments including dyslexia, specific language impairment (SLI), aphasia, dysarthria, apraxia of speech, fluency disorders, voice disorders, and hearing loss. In recent years however, a burgeoning volume of neuroimaging studies have begun to yield promising evidence with regards to ...
This chapter examines the connection between music and speech, and points out areas of intersection relative to the mechanisms guiding their practice, application, and execution. This work also investigates the role of neurologic music therapy as a developmental, re medial, and rehabilitative protocol in the area of speech and language.

This included scenarios where no additional therapy was offered to participants who did not receive music interventions, but also included studies where usual care was offered to both study arms (which could include physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy and psychological support) and therefore the only difference in care was the music intervention.

Aug 22, 2024 · For those with neurogenic aetiologies, therapy can be extensive and may span many months or years, and music-based interventions can provide variability and may improve therapeutic enjoyment. Considering the plethora of information regarding music-based interventions for adults with neurogenic communication, the role of SLTs in this area can be more carefully considered and optimized.

What is neurological music therapy?
Neurologic Music Therapy (NMT) is the therapeutic use of music applied to sensory, speech and language, cognitive, and motor dysfunctions after a neurologic event or diagnosis. The therapy is based on neuroscience research on how music is processed and perceived in the brain, and how we can use that as a tool in neurorehabilitation to improve non-musical goals.
