Music therapy has been out there for years and still you FUCKING BLITHERING IDIOTS can't seem to write a protocol on it! Are there two functioning neurons anywhere in the stroke medical world, or are we dealing with complete idiots?

Send me personal hate mail on this: oc1dean@gmail.com. I'll print your complete statement with your name and my response in my blog. Or are you afraid to engage with my stroke-addled mind? No excuses are allowed! You're medically trained; it should be simple to precisely state EXACTLY WHY you haven't written a music protocol in the last decade with NO EXCUSES! Your definition of competence in stroke is obviously much lower than stroke survivors' definition of your competence! Swearing at me is allowed, I'll return the favor. Don't even attempt to use the excuse that brain research is hard.
Examining the Efficacy of Music-applied Therapies on the Upper Extremity of Post-stroke Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Abstract and Figures
Stroke is the second most common cause of death worldwide, due to an interruption of blood flow to the brain, which results in necrotic cell death. This pathological cascade has ramifications in neurological motor, sensory, and behavior deficits. Recent research has used a therapeutic application of music as a vehicle to improve motor function of post-stroke patients. Music-supported therapy is a newer class of music therapy that works to improve motor function through a standardized program of keyboard and drum exercises, and it is continuing to be integrated into the field of rehabilitation. This study aims to search areas of music-based interventions, such as music-supported therapy (MST) and patterned sensory enhancement (PSE). A meta-analysis was conducted to examine the effect of music-based interventions on rehabilitating the upper extremity of post-stroke patients. Comprehensive literature searches of multiple websites from their inception to November 2023 were performed. A total of 8 studies (10 analyses, 261 participants) were included, and all had acceptable quality according to the PEDro scale. Motor function outcome measures were used to evaluate the results of the intervention and were taken both before and following the intervention. The studies underwent sub-analyses using a standard mean difference in the change from baseline and the 95% confidence interval (CI) for analysis. Two motor function outcomes, the Box and Block Test and the Nine-Hole Peg Test, were statistically significant. The results of this study indicated a positive effect of music-applied therapies, supporting the further incorporation of integrative therapies in stroke-related rehabilitative care.
