)  

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.
