Methodological, Practical, and Ethical Perspectives on Music Therapy Research in Pediatric Neurorehabilitation
Abstract This commentary explores the complexities of advancing research in music therapy for pediatric neurorehabilitation following acquired brain injury. Despite the increasing clinical integration of music therapy in this field, robust evidence remains limited. This discussion explores methodological, practical, and ethical challenges that complicate research design and concludes with recommendations to address these challenges and strengthen the evidence base.
