Music therapy for consciousness recovery after brain injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial studies whether music therapy can help improve the level of consciousness in people recovering from a traumatic brain injury. If you are in early neurological rehabilitation, it may be offered as an add-on approach to support recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a traumatic brain injury and are in early neurological rehabilitation
- You currently have a disorder of consciousness (coma, UWS, or MCS) at least 2 weeks after injury
- You are in an intensive care unit (ICU)
- A legal representative can sign consent in writing
- You are not pregnant (pregnancy is not allowed)

This study tests whether music therapy can help people recover from severe brain injuries caused by blunt trauma. Participants will be in a deep coma on a breathing machine, and the study explores whether listening to music might support their healing and recovery.
This trial tests whether combining music with gentle electrical brain stimulation can improve symptoms after a neurologic event, such as language and attention problems. It’s meant for adults who are living with effects of stroke and certain levels of reduced awareness.
This study tests whether listening to familiar songs can increase awareness in children with disorders of consciousness after a severe brain injury. Your child may be eligible if they are in a low-responsive state and you can give consent.
This study checks how a brain responds to two kinds of sounds—neutral tones and emotional sounds—in people with a persistent disorder of consciousness after a serious event like stroke, head injury, or cardiac arrest. The goal is to see whether these brain “signal” tests can help doctors predict outcomes.
This study tests whether listening to rhythmic music while walking at home can improve balance, mobility, and daily life after a moderate to severe traumatic brain injury.
This study tests if a gentle, noninvasive nerve stimulation (on the neck) combined with computerized thinking exercises can help people recovering from a traumatic brain injury improve memory and attention. It is for adults currently in inpatient rehab who can use a keyboard and are medically stable.
