What this Trial Is About
This clinical trial aims to investigate the effects of immersive virtual reality-based music therapy on cognitive and motor functions in individuals aged 50 to 75 years with subacute stroke (between 2 weeks and 6 months post-stroke). Participants will be randomly assigned to either a control group receiving conventional physiotherapy or an experimental group receiving conventional physiotherapy plus virtual reality-based music therapy. The study will assess cognitive performance, upper extremity motor skills, stroke impact, balance, and spatial neglect before and after a 6-week intervention. All participants will be treated at Istanbul Aydın University VM Medical Park Hospital. The study has been approved by the ethics committee, and written informed consent will be obtained from all participants.
