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.

This study tests a home-based music program designed to help improve attention and thinking speed in people who have had a stroke within the past year. It may help you regain focus and process information more quickly.
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 trial tests whether listening to music can help improve attention and language skills in people who have aphasia (trouble with speaking or understanding language) after a stroke. It may offer a fun, low-stress way to support recovery.
This study tests whether intensive music therapy can help improve thinking and memory in people recovering from a recent stroke. It is for those who have mild to moderate cognitive challenges and can follow simple instructions.
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.
