Music/Sound Therapy for Stroke

Many victims of stroke become depressed. This makes them less willing to work at rehabilitation. Music improves stroke rehabilitation because it has an antidepressant effect.

In a study done at Scotland, researchers studied the effect of music on 40 stroke survivors. One group received standard care, while the other received 40 minutes of music therapy a day. After 12 weeks, the people in the music-therapy group were less depressed, less anxious, and more motivated to participate in rehabilitation.
