Journal Title: Scientific Journal of Medical Science - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 8
Abstract
Objective: The use of melody and rhythm has long been recommended for music-based treatment. Current study was to determine the effect of music listening additions to the conventional protocol that aim to enhance stroke patient’s responses to depression, balance, disability and fatigue.Methods: A total 10 subacute stroke patients with mean age of 55.2±4.3 years were participated in the current study. As per inclusion criteria the patients were randomly divided into two groups, group A and B (n=05) in each group. Group-A participants were undergone music listening for 20 minutes, and group-B as a control group, both groups were undergone a standard conventional physiotherapy regime. A total interventional regime consisted of 4 sessions per week for 28 days. Study outcomes such as depression, balance, disability and fatigue were assessed at baseline, 14th, 29th and 37th day follow up was done without music listening after 28 days lasted. Results: The result of the study reported that disability, depression, fatigue and balance were improved in both groups. Although the patients in group A, who underwent music therapy showed the highly significant improvement (p<0.001) than group-B, who underwent conventional physiotherapy only.Conclusion: Study concluded that music listening along with conventional physiotherapy management is more effective than conventional physiotherapy alone in the management of stroke.
