Major advances in music neuroscience have fueled a growing interest in music-based neurological rehabilitation among researchers and clinicians. Musical activities are excellently suited to be adapted for clinical practice because of their multisensory nature, their demands on cognitive, language, and motor functions, and music's ability to induce emotions and regulate mood. However, the overall quality of music-based rehabilitation research remains low to moderate for most populations and outcomes. In this consensus article, expert panelists who participated in the Neuroscience and Music VII conference in June 2021 address methodological challenges relevant to music-based rehabilitation research. The article aims to provide guidance on challenges related to treatment, outcomes, research designs, and implementation in music-based rehabilitation research. The article addresses how to define music-based rehabilitation, select appropriate control interventions and outcomes, incorporate technology, and consider individual differences, among other challenges. The article highlights the value of the framework for the development and evaluation of complex interventions for music-based rehabilitation research and the need for stronger methodological rigor to allow the widespread implementation of music-based rehabilitation into regular clinical practice.

将音乐用于试验：关于研究基于音乐的康复的关键方法挑战的共识

音乐神经科学的重大进步激发了研究人员和临床医生对基于音乐的神经康复的兴趣。音乐活动非常适合临床实践，因为它们具有多感官特性、对认知、语言和运动功能的要求，以及音乐诱导情绪和调节情绪的能力。然而，对于大多数人群和结果而言，基于音乐的康复研究的整体质量仍然处于低至中等水平。在这篇共识文章中，参加神经科学和音乐 VII 的专家小组成员2021 年 6 月的会议解决了与基于音乐的康复研究相关的方法论挑战。本文旨在为基于音乐的康复研究中与治疗、结果、研究设计和实施相关的挑战提供指导。本文讨论了如何定义基于音乐的康复、选择适当的控制干预措施和结果、整合技术以及考虑个体差异等挑战。这篇文章强调了基于音乐的康复研究的复杂干预措施的开发和评估框架的价值，以及需要更严格的方法论，以便在常规临床实践中广泛实施基于音乐的康复。
