Of 165 eligible patients, 150 were randomised 1:1 to music listening or standard care (75 per group; mean age 67.9 years; 36.7% female). The intervention consisted of one-hour weekday sessions of personalised Italian vocal music delivered via tablet and headphones until discharge. Implications for Music-Based Support in Stroke CareThese findings have suggested that early, personalised vocal music listening during acute stroke hospitalisation is feasible and acceptable, and is associated with improved mood and self-perceived sleep quality. The authors have suggested that music listening, as a low-cost intervention, could be integrated into acute stroke management, including in resource-limited settings.
