This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This pilot study is testing whether music therapy can help people recover better after serious brain or spinal cord injuries. Participants will receive either 15 hours of music therapy or 15 hours of a control therapy program, both spread over about 10 weeks while they're in a specialist rehabilitation hospital. Researchers want to see if this treatment improves recovery, quality of life, and well-being.
Many people who survive serious brain and spinal cord injuries struggle with physical recovery, mood, pain, and social confidence during rehabilitation. This study is exploring whether music therapy might help address these challenges in a way that standard rehabilitation alone cannot.

If you join, you'll be randomly assigned to either receive music therapy sessions or control therapy sessions (15 hours total) over about 10 weeks while you're in the rehabilitation hospital. You'll also complete several questionnaires and assessments at the start and during your stay that measure your mood, quality of life, communication, and recovery progress. A trained researcher will help you with these assessments, and your care team will track your functional progress as part of normal rehabilitation.
