Music therapy to boost thinking skills in children with learning challenges
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether intensive music-based rehabilitation can improve thinking and learning skills in children with combined neurodevelopmental conditions like ADHD, dyslexia, or coordination difficulties. It aims to see if the therapy helps more than standard care.
