Abstract

Introduction: Rehabilitation of brain function through music therapy has grown significantly in the past half century. Surgery often makes cognitive changes such as memory, attention, executive function, speech, motor function and these impairments need to rehabilitation. Music therapy is used to stimulate brain functions including movement, cognition, language, emotion and sensory perception. Musical interventions should be based on the principles and they needs to settings for rehabilitation. Therapists are engaged to work in different settings from hospitals to educational and also private rehabilitation after surgery. Diagnostic evaluation of this technique and applied research models are accounted as new low-cost priorities in treatment of surgical complications. Empirical successes of music therapy in neuro-cognitive rehabilitation open the way for new research.
