May 4, 2022 · Music therapy is most effective when used in conjunction with more conventional therapy treatments for post-stroke depression. 6. Improves post-stroke anxiety. Post-stroke anxiety affects one out of five stroke survivors. Music therapy can help improve anxiety symptoms by reducing cortisol, a stress hormone.

A parallel-group randomised controlled trial will be conducted with participants being randomised to either eMST (eMST-group) or to a control treatment (CT-group), the latter receiving the Graded Repetitive Arm Supplementary Program (GRASP, ). The control treatment has already been validated and proven to be effective in enhancing the motor functio...
Chronic stroke patients will be recruited from two tertiary hospitals of the Barcelona metropolitan area (Hospitals del Mar i l’Esperança and Bellvitge University Hospital). These hospitals have stroke units and specialised inpatient and outpatient neurological rehabilitation departments. Patients diagnosed with ischemic or haemorrhagic stroke will...
Participants in the eMST-group will follow a 10-week intervention that will consist of 4 weekly one-hour sessions (total program duration: 40 h). The training program comprises three individual home-based self-training sessions and one group session per week.
In each session, the participant is presented with an image of four different percussion instruments and can select the order in which she / he would like to play them. For each exercise, the app first displays a short video demonstrating how to play the particular instrument and provides instructions to avoid compensatory movements (Fig. 3a). Then...
For the exercises with the keyboard, participants are asked to play simple sequences that gradually increase in difficulty (Fig. 3b). The app provides visual instructions as well as cues to prompt finger movements and records the performance of the patient with the keyboard. Exercises with the keyboard increase in difficulty depending on the patien...
Participants have the possibility to play musical games, an optional part of the treatment they can skip if they are tired or not in the mood to play. They can choose between four different games: 1) Simon says, comprising the participant is asked to repeat a sequence that is presented, which becomes progressively longer and more complex as she / h...
The keyboard is connected to the electronic tablet as a midi-device, which allows recording the played notes, any errors made, key-pressure and the execution time for each exercise. The AI platform is based on three main components (visualisation, prediction, and prescription). All the information is processed to visually summarise the performance ...
At the end of the home-based sessions the motor performance and the mood of the participants are evaluated. Five keyboard exercises of 3–5 min duration are applied ranging in difficulty from playing simple sequences with one finger to playing complex sequences with five fingers. Moreover, participants are asked to rate their mood on a visual scale ...
Participants in the control intervention group will follow the Graded Repetitive Arm Supplementary Program (GRASP, ). This program consists of self-directed arm and hand exercises for stroke patients and it is validated to be performed by patients on their own at home. GRASP seeks to promote hand and arm motor function recovery through mass repetit...
An initial evaluation will include the collection of demographical and clinical variables will be performed at baseline. In addition, primary and secondary motor, cognitive and emotional well-being and quality of life outcomes will be evaluated before and after the intervention as well as at 3-month follow-up. Table 4summarises the variables and ou...

Oct 12, 2024 · Music therapy is an increasingly popular method for helping stroke patients with their recovery. It involves playing instruments, singing, and listening to music, which stimulates many parts of the brain at once, allowing damaged neural pathways to reconnect. Studies have shown that music therapy can improve language recovery and motor function ...
May 4, 2022 · Studies of this phenomenon and of how music affects the brain have led to the development of a variety of music-supported therapies, such as melodic intonation therapy, which trains stroke survivors to communicate rhythmically to build stronger connections between brain regions. Other therapies focus on listening to music or teaching people to play musical instruments, such as the keyboard or ...

Aug 7, 2024 · Objective Many stroke survivors still present with upper-limb paresis six months post-stroke, impacting their autonomy and quality of life (QoL). We designed an enriched Music-supported Therapy (eMST) program to reduce disability in this population. We evaluated the eMST’s effectiveness in improving functional abilities and QoL in chronic stroke individuals compared to the conventional motor ...
