Background: Stroke is a life-threating cerebrovascular disease. Without proper and immediate treatment, it can cause long-term disabilities and even death. While current rehabilitation focuses on functional needs, it does not fully address the psychosocial issues. Creative arts-based therapies, however, may have the potential to be of assistance.Methods: A systematic review was conducted to synthesize the qualitative findings of the stroke survivors' positive and negative experiences in participating in creative arts-based therapies. A systematic literature search was conducted across diverse databases. A thematic synthesis was adopted to analyze the results from different qualitative studies and mix-method studies.Results: Among the 367 studies extracted from various databases, 11 studies met the inclusion criteria and were of acceptable quality. The following five analytical themes were identified: functional restoration, psychological support, social engagement, spiritual experience, and short-comings and barriers.Conclusion: Creative arts-based therapies have demonstrated their strengths in addressing psychosocial needs for stroke survivors. Different art modalities are perceived to be useful in achieving different therapeutic goals. Therapies based on a single art modality or combined modalities have different specialties and characteristics. Further research is needed to demonstrate the differential benefits or special advantages of using single or multiple art modalities as well as having qualified therapists in creative arts-based therapies.

“…Fifty-one participants in the age range 6-12 years (mean age=10.25 years, 8 females) were assessed at baseline and randomly assigned to music (MT; n=26) or non-music (NM; n=25) intervention groups (Fig.S1). Using a child-centric approach, MT made use of musical instruments, songs and rhythmic cues while targeting communication, turn-taking, sensorimotor integration, social appropriateness and musical interaction (76)(77)(78)(79)(80)(81). NM was designed as a structurally-matched "active comparison" group (82,83) to control for non-specific factors such as positive treatment expectancies, intervention support, therapist attention and emotional engagement.…”

Music has been identified as a strength in people with Autism Spectrum Disorder, however, there is currently no neuroscientific evidence supporting its benefits. Given its universal appeal, intrinsic reward value and ability to modify brain and behaviour, music may be a potential therapeutic aid in autism. Here, we evaluated the neurobehavioral outcomes of a music intervention, compared to a non-music control intervention, on social communication and brain connectivity in school-age children (ISRCTN26821793). Fifty-one 6-12 year olds with autism were randomized to receive 8-12 weeks of music (n=26) or non-music intervention (n=25). The music intervention involved use of improvisational approaches through song and rhythm to target social communication. The non-music control was a structurally-matched behavioural intervention implemented in a non-musical context. Groups were assessed before and after intervention on social communication and resting-state functional connectivity of fronto-temporal brain networks. Communication scores were higher in the music group post-intervention (difference score=4.84, P=.01). Associated post-intervention resting-state brain functional connectivity was greater in music versus non-music groups between auditory and subcortical regions (z=3.94, P<.0001) and auditory and fronto-motor regions (z=3.16, P<.0001). Post-intervention brain connectivity was lower between auditory and visual regions in music compared to non-music groups, known to be over-connected in autism (z=4.01, P<.00001). Post-intervention brain connectivity in the music group was related to communication improvement (z=3.57, P<.0001). This study provides the first evidence that 8-12 weeks of individual music intervention can indeed improve social communication and functional brain connectivity, lending support to further investigations of neurobiologically-motivated models of music interventions in autism.

“…For instance, music practice as a therapy for stroke patients is an enjoyable activity that includes complex and coordinated movements while placing a high demand on cognitive functions, such as attention and working memory, as well as modulating mood . Music performance facilitates auditory–motor coupling, increases the adherence to physical exercises, and promotes social bonding during group performance . Some of these positive aspects could be partly mediated by the dopaminergic reward system, which is known to be highly responsive to music and involved in learning, memory, and the modulation of synaptic plasticity .…”

The effect of music-supported therapy (MST) as a tool to restore hemiparesis of the upper extremity after a stroke has not been appropriately contrasted with conventional therapy. The aim of this trial was to test the effectiveness of adding MST to a standard rehabilitation program in subacute stroke patients. A randomized controlled trial was conducted in which patients were randomized to MST or conventional therapy in addition to the rehabilitation program. The intensity and duration of the interventions were equated in both groups. Before and after 4 weeks of treatment, motor and cognitive functions, mood, and quality of life (QoL) of participants were evaluated. A follow-up at 3 months was conducted to examine the retention of motor gains. Both groups significantly improved their motor function, and no differences between groups were found. The only difference between groups was observed in the language domain for QoL. Importantly, an association was encountered between the capacity to experience pleasure from music activities and the motor improvement in the MST group. MST as an add-on treatment showed no superiority to conventional therapies for motor recovery. Importantly, patient's intrinsic motivation to engage in musical activities was associated with better motor improvement.
