A structured music-based intervention for motor rehabilitation and exploratory cognitive and quality-of-life outcomes after stroke: a study protocol for a randomized waitlist-controlled intervention study
Clinical Report: A Protocol for a Randomized Waitlist-Controlled Study on a Structured Music Intervention Aimed at Motor Rehabilitation and Cognitive and Quality-of-Life Improvements Post-Stroke
Overview
This study protocol outlines a randomized waitlist-controlled trial to evaluate a structured music-based intervention for post-stroke rehabilitation. The primary focus is on motor function, with exploratory outcomes including executive functioning and stroke-specific quality of life as stated in the protocol.
Background
Stroke is a leading cause of long-term disability, often resulting in motor, cognitive, and emotional impairments that significantly affect quality of life. Music-based interventions have shown promise in enhancing rehabilitation outcomes, yet evidence for structured programs remains limited.
Data Highlights
No numerical data available in the source material.
Key Findings
The study will include adults aged 18–70 who have experienced a stroke at least 3 months prior.
Participants will be divided into an experimental group receiving standard care plus music intervention and a waitlist group receiving standard care only.
The intervention consists of 10 sessions of structured music-based activities.
Primary outcome measures will focus on motor function, with secondary assessments on upper-limb function, executive functioning, and quality of life.
Analyses will follow the intention-to-treat principle and utilize linear mixed-effects models.
Clinical Implications
This protocol aims to evaluate the feasibility of integrating music-based interventions into post-stroke rehabilitation.
Conclusion
The study is designed to evaluate the effectiveness of a structured music-based intervention in enhancing motor rehabilitation and cognitive outcomes post-stroke.
