Feasibility of Integrating Music Therapy into Routine Speech-Language Rehabilitation for Post-Stroke Aphasia: A Real-World Outpatient Study
A Thai quasi-experimental outpatient study found that a manualised music-therapy protocol could be delivered alongside speech-language therapy. Both groups improved within group; the augmented group showed numerically larger language gains, but between-group differences were not significant. Because it also received more total therapy time, modality-specific effectiveness cannot be inferred.
