further
single
case
studies
substantiate
the
extraordinary
efficacy
of
SIPARI®
in
the
treatment
of
severely
impaired
chronic
aphasia
patients
and
also
patients
with
concomitant
apraxia

Due
to
the
increasing
number
of
inquiries
for

will
provide

S I P A R I ®
evidence-based music-supported therapy
for patients suffering from chronic aphasia
After
the
first
group
study
(2004,
University
of
Witten/Herdecke),
the
efficacy
of
SIPARI®
could
now
be
proven
again
in
a
Randomized
Controlled
Trial
(in
cooperation
with
the
University
Hospital
of
the
RWTH
Aachen).
The
results
were
recently
published
in
Journal
of
Neurology
.
evidence-based music-supported therapy for
chronic aphasia patients
SIPARI®
was
developed
by
Dr.
Jungblut
and
first
tried
and
tested
in
cooperation
with
the
Medical
Faculty
of
the
University
of Witten-Herdecke, Germany.
In
2010
the
Cochrane
Review
“Music
therapy
for
acquired
brain
injury”
(
)
included
a
controlled
SIPARI®
group-study
(mean
duration
of
aphasia:
11.5
years)
.
In
international
comparison,
this
was
the
only
study,
which
provided
evidence
that
this
specifically
targeted
music-supported
treatment
significantly
improved
the
speech
profile
of
people
with
chronic
aphasia.
