The effects of music therapy on patients with post-stroke aphasia:a Meta-analysis
Objective To investigate the effectiveness of music therapy on patients with post-stroke aphasia.Methods Randomized controlled trials of music therapy for patients with post-stroke aphasia were systematically searched from 9 databases,such as CNKI,WanFang,PubMed,etc.The search time was from the inception of databases to July 2023.The literature was screened and extracted by 2 researchers according to the inclusion criteria,and the quality of the literature was assessed using Cochrane Manual 5.1.0.Revman 5.3 software was used for meta-analysis.Results We selected 22 studies comprising 827 participants comparing with control conditions.The meta-analysis demonstrated that music therapy significantly improved spontaneous speech[SMD=0.60,95％CI(0.40～0.80),P＜0.01],listening comprehension[SMD=0.49,95％CI(0.32～0.67),P＜0.0 1],repetition[SMD=0.77,95％CI(0.60～0.94),P＜0.01],naming[SMD=0.54,95％CI(0.29～0.78),P＜0.01],communication ability[SMD=0.40,95％CI(0.02～0.78),P＜0.01],depression[SMD=-0.75,95％CI(-1.10～-0.40),P＜0.01],but had no significant effect on the severity of aphasia[SMD=0.82,95％CI(-0.26,1.90),P=0.14].Conclusion Music therapy significantly improved language expres-sion and understanding ability,but there was no clear evidence for the improvement of aphasia severity.
