Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Stroke
Registration Number
NCT01749709
Lead Sponsor
Turku University Hospital
Brief Summary

Single blind randomized clinical trial including 50 stroke patients to investigate the effect of daily music listening on behavioral, neural and physiological recovery. Patients are randomized (1:1:1) to listen instrumental or vocal music, or audiobooks (recorded book reading) (control). Outcome measures are change in neuropsychological tests, change in self-reported mood, structural and functional magnetic resonance imaging changes and hormonal changes performed at acute, 3-month and 6-month stages.
