WEDNESDAY, Feb. 20 (HealthDay News) -- Listening to music for a few hours a day can help boost a stroke patient's early recovery, according to Finnish researchers.
Their study of 54 patients who'd suffered a stroke of the right or left hemisphere middle cerebral artery found that those who listened to music for a few hours a day showed better improvements in verbal memory and focused attention, and had a more positive mood than those who listened to audio books or listened to nothing at all.

“Economic Burden from the use of Complementary and Alternative Methods of Treatment in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis”
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is often a fatal neurodegenerative disorder. There are no effective cures for this disease and in majority of cases there is relentless progression of symptoms and signs. Average survival from the time diagnosis is given is roughly around 36 months. The purpose of this study was to study the pattern of use of complementary and alternative methods of treatment in this disorder. We then wanted to calculate the economic costs associated with such use and the factors surrounding use of these methods in ALS.
