Effect of Daily Music Listening on Stroke Recovery (MUKU2)

December 31, 2021 updated by: Turku University Hospital

Effect of Cognitive Stimulation on Recovery After Stroke

Single blind randomized clinical trial including 50 stroke patients to investigate the effect of daily music listening on behavioral, neural and physiological recovery. Patients are randomized (1:1:1) to listen instrumental or vocal music, or audiobooks (recorded book reading) (control). Outcome measures are change in neuropsychological tests, change in self-reported mood, structural and functional magnetic resonance imaging changes and hormonal changes performed at acute, 3-month and 6-month stages.
