Enhancing Attention and Processing Speed Through Home-based Music Rehabilitation Program After Stroke in Malaysia
Enhancing Attention and Processing Speed Through Home-based Music Rehabilitation Program After Stroke in Malaysia: A Feasibility Random Controlled Study
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 19 Aug 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Stroke often leads to significant cognitive impairment, impacting quality of life. While existing rehabilitation options exist, there's a need for innovative, accessible, and patient-centered solutions. Research suggests music can engage multiple brain networks associated with sensory and motor processes, cognition, and affective regulation, potentially enhancing cognitive functions like attention and processing speed as well. Home-based interventions have also demonstrated positive impacts on rehabilitation adherence and outcomes. Building on this foundation, this study proposes to develop and pilot test a home-based musical rehabilitation program to improve attention and processing speed in Malaysian stroke survivors.
