Summary
This trial aims to see if participating in choir sessions can help improve communication and language recovery for people with chronic post-stroke aphasia. Participants will attend 12 weekly choir sessions and do home singing training
Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with chronic post-stroke aphasia, which is a language disorder that occurs after a stroke. Participants should be interested in joining choir sessions and committed to additional singing practice at home.
What is being tested?
The study tests if joining a choir and practicing singing at home can help improve communication skills, language abilities, and overall well-being compared to the usual care received after a stroke.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this intervention involves singing in a choir, there are no medical side effects expected. However, participants may experience fatigue or emotional responses related to group activities.
