There
is a growing interest in the use of music therapy in neurological
rehabilitation. Of all the major neurological illnesses, stroke
rehabilitation has been observed to have some of the strongest potential
for music therapy’s beneficial effect. The current burden of stroke has
raised the need to embrace novel, cost-effective, rehabilitation
designs that will enhance the existing physical, occupation, and speech
therapies. Music therapy addresses a broad spectrum of motor, speech,
and cognitive deficits, as well as behavioral and emotional issues.
Several music therapy designs have focused on gait, cognitive, and
speech rehabilitation, but most of the existing randomized controlled
trials based on these interventions have a high risk of bias and are
statistically insignificant. More randomized controlled trials with
greater number of participants are required to strengthen the current
data. Fostering an open and informed dialogue between patients,
healthcare providers, and music therapists may help increase quality of
life, dispel fallacies, and guide patients to specific musical
interventions.
