This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether Therapeutic Music Listening—a structured program of daily personalized music sessions—can help reduce anxiety and improve mood, thinking, and brain recovery in people who have had a stroke within the last three months. Researchers will compare people who receive this music program alongside their regular stroke recovery care to those who receive standard care alone, and will use brain scans to understand how the music affects the brain.
Studies have shown that music listening can help the brain heal after stroke, but doctors don't yet have clear, standardized guidelines for how to use music as a treatment. This trial aims to prove whether this treatment really works and to understand the brain changes that make it effective.

If you are selected for the study, you will be randomly assigned to either receive daily personalized music listening sessions (in addition to your regular stroke recovery therapy) or to continue with standard care alone. The music listening intervention lasts 4 weeks, with sessions occurring each day. You will complete questionnaires about your anxiety, mood, thinking, and quality of life, and some participants will also have brain imaging scans (fMRI) to measure changes in brain connectivity. A follow-up visit will occur one month after the 4-week program ends. The entire study will take about 24 months to complete enrollment and data collection.
