Music and brain zaps show promise for rare movement disorder

This study tests whether combining music-based movement therapy (patterned sensory enhancement) with mild brain stimulation can improve arm and hand function in people with corticobasal syndrome, a rare brain disorder. Twenty adults will receive either music therapy alone or music therapy plus brain stimulation for 30 minutes, twice a week for three weeks. Researchers will measure changes in arm movement, dexterity, mood, and brain activity to see if these non-invasive treatments can help with daily tasks.
