Aphasia Clinical Trial
Official title:
Singing for People With Aphasia (SPA): A Pilot Randomised Controlled Trial of a Group Singing Intervention to Improve Wellbeing
To undertake a pilot study that will evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of procedures to inform the design and delivery of a definitive RCT of SPA (which would assess the clinical and cost effectiveness of SPA for people with aphasia)
Beyond language function, people with aphasia (PWA) report a range of health problems which
negatively affect wellbeing, including reduced confidence and social isolation. These
psychosocial outcomes of aphasia are not sufficiently met by healthcare services:
improvements in language function do not appear to lead to improvements in wellbeing.
National clinical guidelines for stroke reflect this observation and highlight the need for
community integration and participation of people with aphasia. This research is about
singing groups for people with aphasia (SPA) and is intended to address this need by focusing
on the wellbeing and social participation needs of people with aphasia after stroke.
The Investigators engagement activities and early development project provided strong impetus
for the proposed study: people with aphasia repeatedly told the investigators that singing in
groups may help the participants to reconnect with society, and that this will improve
wellbeing.
The investigators have planned a pilot study that will allow an assessment of the extent to
which the study processes and the singing groups themselves are feasible to run and are
acceptable to participants. The information from this work will help the investigators to
decide whether to conduct a larger randomised controlled trial (RCT) which would be a fair
test of whether SPA can improve the lives of individuals with post stroke aphasia.
