Moving with and without music after a stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study compares two types of movement practice for people recovering from a recent stroke. One group will do everyday tasks like walking and reaching, and the other will do the same movements but with a rhythmic beat to help with timing and coordination.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 40 and 60 years old.
- This is your first stroke, and it happened less than 6 months ago.
- Your stroke was either a blockage (ischemic) or a bleed (hemorrhagic).
- You can walk at least 10 meters (about 10 steps) with a little help or on your own.
- You don't have other serious health issues like Parkinson's, uncontrolled blood pressure, or recent injuries.

This study tests whether adding rhythmic music to corrective exercises can improve balance, walking, and quality of life in people who recently had a stroke. It may help you move better and feel more confident.
This study tests whether watching movements and listening to sounds at the same time can help improve walking and moving after a stroke. It is for people who are at least 6 months past their stroke and can already walk a bit.
This trial tests whether adding a rhythmic beat (like a metronome or music) to walking while doing thinking tasks can improve walking after a stroke. It is for people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago and can already walk a short distance.
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 if rhythmic sounds (like clapping) can help improve arm movement in people who had a stroke at least six months ago. It focuses on those with mild to moderate arm weakness and no major hearing problems.
This study compares two types of walking exercises to see which one helps people with chronic stroke improve their walking ability. You would join a training program that focuses on either everyday tasks or high-intensity walking practice.
