Mr. S. had a stroke and fell into a coma. Af­ter re­gain­ing con­scious­ness his abil­ity to speak, his will and abil­ity to com­mu­ni­cate were at a very low level, and his mo­toric skills were strongly lim­ited. Sev­eral months of in­ten­sive speech and physi­cal ther­apy did not yield any mean­ing­ful re­sults. Upon leav­ing the hos­pi­tal af­ter 4 months, the prog­no­sis was bleak. For the rest of his life Mr S. would only be able to move by the help of his wheel chair, would proba­bly never again be able to speak in an un­der­stand­able man­ner, and would not be able to es­tab­lish much con­tact with his sur­round­ings.

His rela­tives were not will­ing to ac­cept this di­ag­no­sis so Mr. S. con­tin­ued in speech and physi­cal ther­apy af­ter he left the hos­pi­tal. Still this did not gen­er­ate much suc­cess worthy of men­tion­ing.

A turn came with a neu­rolo­gist’s ad­vise to add to the logopae­dic and physio­thera­peu­tic treat­ments the treat­ment with MRT-Mu­sic^®. This brought suc­cess soon. Mr S. started to make quick pro­gress in his speech ex­er­cises and could speak al­most nor­mally again af­ter 2 months. Also his physi­cal ther­apy was re­warded with more suc­cess. Af­ter one year of MRT-Mu­sic^® he could leave the wheel chair and walk alone with a walk­ing aid. A few months later he even learned to swim again. Af­ter two years he was able to again par­tici­pate in nor­mal con­ver­sa­tion.

To­day the rela­tives regret very much not hav­ing heard about MRT-Mu­sic^® ear­lier and they ask the ques­tion: “What in the brain would be dif­fer­ent if Mr. S. would have been treated with MRT-Mu­sic^® while in coma?”
