Clinical Trial Summary

Music listening has many positive effects on the brain. This study aims to find out if people with stroke get better results with their rehabilitation if they listen to music during their passive hours. The study is a randomized controlled trial with people who are at a rehabilitation center care after stroke at Tampere University Hospital. The control group gets standard rehabilitation. Music group gets standard rehabilitation and in addition they listen to music one hour a day during four weeks. Physiotherapists, occupational therapists and speech therapists test how well the participant's walking, use of hand and speech improve. The main goal is to find out if the improvement is better with music listening. The study also monitors effects of music listening on mood in rehabilitation.
