Summary

This trial tests whether daily music training—either piano practice or listening to music—can improve behavior and thinking in children with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD). Each child will do both activities for 12 weeks each, in a random order, with tests before and after. The goal is to see if music training helps with self-control, attention, and working memory.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Music training (daily piano practice or daily music listening)
What this could lead to
If effective, music training could offer a non-drug way to help children with FASD improve self-control, attention, and memory.
What could go wrong
This is a small early-stage trial, so results may not apply broadly. The benefit may be modest, and daily practice could be challenging for some children.
