Music and gentle brain stimulation after neurological injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a home-based music program to help improve attention and thinking speed after a stroke. You would do rhythmic exercises at home, and the program might help your brain recover faster.
This study tests whether listening to music at home can help with mood and thinking after a stroke. You'll be asked to listen to music or audio stories for 30 minutes a day, and we'll use MRI scans to see how your brain responds.
This study tests whether regular music therapy sessions can help improve memory and thinking after a recent stroke. It is designed for people in the early recovery period (first 3 months) who may benefit from a structured, enjoyable activity to support their brain recovery.
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 if combining neuromuscular electrical stimulation (gentle muscle zaps) with mindfulness exercises helps stroke patients recover better. It aims to improve movement and well-being.
This study tests whether listening to music can help improve attention and language skills in people who have had a stroke and have a language problem called aphasia. It involves in-person sessions at Purdue University or online sessions with a webcam.
