Patients who receive the treatment program, will previously constitute their own control group (waiting list control group).

Patients admitted to the brain injury unit will participate in a music therapy protocol starting one week after admission. Prior to the group session, three evaluations will be conducted over six days. Post-treatment assessments will also be conducted to enable longitudinal evaluation of the patient over the course of a week.

The music therapy session will focus on the themes of reidentification and involvement. The aim is to accompany the patient during the illness process, allowing them to express their emotional state, relate to music, promote listening and communication between family members, help and value preserved abilities, and promote personal involvement in the rehabilitation process.

The session will work with songs, taking into account musical preferences.

The Discomfort Observation Scale (DOS) is a tool used to assess discomfort in patients with severe cognitive impairment in end-of-life situations. The Discomfort Observation Scale (DOS) is a tool used to assess discomfort in patients with severe cognitive impairment in end-of-life situations. The Discomfort Observation Scale (DOS) is a tool used to assess discomfort in patients with severe cognitive impairment in end-of-life situations. It consists of nine items that evaluate factors such as noisy breathing, body language, facial expressions, and verbalizations. Each observation is scored dichotomously (0-1, presence-absence), resulting in a score range of 0 to 9. A higher score indicates less discomfort. The language used is clear, concise, and objective, adhering to formal register and precise word choice. The text is grammatically correct and follows conventional structure and formatting features.

The purpose of this assessment is to evaluate the patient's functional independence. It involves assessing their ability to perform 10 activities of daily living, including eating, washing, dressing, grooming, bowel movements, urination, toileting, transferring, ambulation, and stair use. The scores range from 0, indicating maximum dependence, to 100, indicating maximum independence.
