Summary
This study tests whether a home-based music program can improve attention and thinking speed in people who have had a stroke. About 36 Malaysian stroke survivors with mild to moderate cognitive issues will take part. They will use music exercises at home, with help from a caregiver, to see if it helps their brain recovery.
