Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to explore whether intensive music therapy can help improve cognitive functions like memory, attention, and decision-making skills in stroke patients who are undergoing rehabilitation.
This is a feasibility study, meaning it's also designed to see how practical it is to include music therapy as part of stroke rehabilitation. The investigators want to learn how well patients can participate in and stick with this type of therapy, and whether it fits well with other treatments that stroke patients usually receive. By understanding this, the investigators can assess the resources, staff training, and planning needed for music therapy to be part of stroke recovery in the future.
The study will also help the investigators estimate the effects of music therapy, which will be used to design a larger, more detailed study in the future.

Detailed Description:
This study will be a feasibility randomised controlled trial (RCT) in one centre, with two parallel groups: an intervention group receiving intensive music therapy in addition to standard neurorehabilitation, and a control group receiving only standard neurorehabilitation. A certified music therapist will conduct the intervention and a trained assessor will evaluate the outcome. The assessor is blinded to the patients' allocation group and will evaluate the cognitive outcomes at baseline, at two weeks (after 8 sessions) and at 1 month post intervention. All patients whoare admitted to the rehabilitation ward for stroke rehabilitation will be screened and approached. Informed consent will be obtained from eligible patients before randomisation. To ensure that there are exactly 15 patients in both the control and intervention groups, block randomization will be used using a random number generator. After randomization, the group assignments will be kept in a password-protected file that only the study coordinator can access. The assessor will not have access to this information because the patients will be labelled with anonymous codes that do not reveal whether they are in the control or intervention group. The assessor will only know the code, not the group assignment, ensuring unbiased evaluation.
