Abstract
Aphasia is a common and debilitating consequence of stroke, significantly affecting one's communication and quality of life. Music-based interventions (MBis) have gained attention as potential therapeutic tools for post-stroke aphasia. This rapid review aims to synthesize the current evidence regarding the effectiveness of music-based interventions in the rehabilitation of post-stroke patients with aphasia. A rapid review of the literature was conducted including studies that examined the use of music-based interventions for aphasia in post-stroke patients. Eligible studies included post-stroke patients with aphasia, peer-reviewed articles, quantitative studies, and studies that were published in English within the last 10 years. The focus was on interventions that targeted speech, language, and communication outcomes, with a particular emphasis on music-based interventions.
A total of 17 studies were included in this review. The findings suggest that music-based interventions, particularly the use of MIT, can lead to improvements in speech production, prosody, and overall communication skills for individuals with aphasia. The evidence supports the potential of music-based interventions as a therapy that would be beneficial for stroke patients with aphasia. Music-based interventions show promise as an adjunct to conventional aphasia therapies for post-stroke patients, with moderate to strong effects observed in communication recovery.
