Can music improve attention and language after stroke-related aphasia?
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
