Music therapy (MT) may alleviate symptoms for mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) patients. This study found MT reduced symptoms and improved visual cortex activation in an mTBI case, suggesting potential clinical benefits.
Area of Science:
- Neuroscience
- Clinical Medicine
- Music Therapy Research
Background:
- Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) presents limited effective treatment options.
- Patients often experience persistent and debilitating symptoms, including visual disturbances.
- Current interventions are insufficient for comprehensive patient recovery.
