IntroductionAphasia is a common dysfunction among patients with stroke that can severely affect daily life. Listening to the ‘five-tone’ melodies of traditional Chinese medicine can improve some of the language functions of patients with post-stroke aphasia; however, passive listening may limit its clinical efficacy. In this study, we transform the passive listening five-tone melodic therapy of traditional Chinese medicine into an active five-tone speech therapy. This randomised controlled trial aims to investigate the clinical efficacy of active five-tone speech therapy in the treatment of post-stroke aphasia, such as language function, daily communication ability and communication efficiency, as well as investigate the therapeutic mechanism of this innovative therapy by electroencephalogram and MRI.Methods and analysisThe study is a multicentric, randomised, parallel-assignment, single-blind treatment study. 70 participants will be recruited from the Rehabilitation Hospital Affiliated to Fujian University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and the Third People’s Hospital Affiliated to Fujian University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and randomly assigned to two groups, the five-tone speech therapy group and the control group, at a 1:1 ratio. The control group will receive 20 sessions of conventional speech-language therapy, while the five-tone speech therapy group will receive 20 sessions of five-tone speech therapy in addition to conventional speech-language therapy. The primary outcome measure for this study will be the score on Western Aphasia Battery. Secondary outcomes include communicative abilities in daily living, percentage of correct information units and correct information units per minute, as well as resting-state electroencephalogram, event-related potentials and MRI data. All outcomes will be evaluated at 0 weeks (before intervention) and at 4 weeks (after 20 intervention sessions).Ethics and disseminationEthical approval of this study was granted by the ethics committees of the Rehabilitation Hospital Affiliated to Fujian University of Traditional Chinese Medicine (2023KY-009-01) and the Third People’s Hospital Affiliated to Fujian University of Traditional Chinese Medicine (2023-kl-010). Recruitment commenced on 24 April 2023. Informed consent will be obtained from all participants of the trial (or from their legal guardians, where applicable). The outcomes of the trial will be disseminated through peer-reviewed publications.Trial registration numberChiCTR2300069257.

A Review on Music Interventions for Frontotemporal Aphasia and a Proposal for Alternative Treatments

et al. 2022

Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is a rare neurodegenerative disease, characterized by behavioral and language impairments. Primary progressive aphasia (PPA) is the linguistic variant of this heterogeneous disorder. To date, there is a lack of consensus about which interventions are effective in these patients. However, several studies show that music-based interventions are beneficial in neurological diseases. This study aims, primarily, to establish the state of the art of music-based interventions designed for PPA due to FTD and, secondarily, to inform the planning of PPA-dedicated future interventions for Italian neurological institutions. The first aim is fulfilled by a review which critically screens the neurological studies examining the effects of music- and/or rhythm-based interventions, especially, on language rehabilitation in aphasic FTD. We found that only two papers fulfilled our criteria and concerned specifically aphasic patients due to FTD. Of those, one paper reported a study conducted in an Italian institution. Most of the reviewed studies focused, instead, on aphasia in post-stroke patients. The results of our review invite further studies to investigate the role of music as a valuable support in the therapy for neurodegenerative patients with language problems and in particular to PPA due to FTD. Moreover, based on this initial work, we can delineate new music-based interventions dedicated to PPA for Italian institutions.
