Research back from 2008 proving that music therapy works yet I bet there is not a single stroke hospital in the world that has developed a music protocol. Everything in stroke is a failure and needs to be destroyed so the stroke phoenix can rise from the ashes. Probably because everyone is so lazy they are waiting until SOMEONE ELSE HAS SOLVED THE PROBLEM?

Abstract
Music therapy
(MT) can be applied to the functional recovery of patients who suffer
from neurologic conditions. In this context, MT functions as part of a
multidisciplinary treatment in neurologic rehabilitation. Stroke is
among the most common causes of severe cognitive deficits, which have a
negative impact on learning processes and rehabilitation outcomes.
Consequently, everyday functioning can be severely limited.
Although
there is ample evidence for the effectiveness of MT in cognitive
rehabilitation (Bradt, Magee, Dileo, Wheeler, & McGilloway,
2010;
Gardiner & Thaut,
2014; Hedge,
2014; Moore, Peterson, O’Shea,
McIntosh, & Thaut,
2008; Särkämö et al.,
2008; Thaut et al.,
2009;
Thaut,
2010), there is a lack of specific music-based assessment tools
that measure the effects of music on the cognitive functions typically
affected by stroke. Responding to this need, we developed the Screening
of Music and Cognition (SCM) assessment tool. In this pilot study, we
used the SCM as an intake assessment of 15 adult inpatients with
mild-to-severe cognitive disorders due to right hemisphere stroke; they
were reassessed after 1 month of interdisciplinary treatment. This study
sought to determine the clinical usefulness of music-based tasks in the
assessment of cognitive functioning and to assess the SCM as a tool to
evaluate the cognitive functioning of individuals with acquired brain
injury. We found that the SCM is effective for gathering important
information relevant to cognitive rehabilitation and contributes to an
optimal treatment selection for this patient population. In addition,
the SCM enables monitoring of patient’s progress over time.
