First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 32 times

Summary

This study compares live music therapy with recorded music in 10 children aged 1–18 who have a disorder of consciousness after a severe brain injury. Over 10 days, children receive both types of music in random order, and their responses are measured using a simple behavioral checklist. Researchers also track recovery at 6 months and interview parents about their experiences. The goal is to see if live music offers extra benefits and to guide better use of music therapy in hospitals.
