Participants received standard speech-language therapy or therapy combined with a manualised music therapy protocol. The intervention represents a dose-augmented feasibility design, as the experimental group received increased overall therapeutic contact time. Language performance was assessed using the Thai Adaptation of the Western Aphasia Battery, and anxiety using the State\u2013Trait Anxiety Inventory, Form Y-2. Pre\u2013post changes were examined using descriptive statistics and exploratory analyses, including paired tests for within-group comparisons and independent tests for between-group differences.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The intervention was feasible, with complete delivery and assessment. Within-group improvements in language performance were observed in both groups, with greater gains in the music therapy\u2013augmented group; however, between-group differences were not statistically significant. Anxiety scores decreased in both groups, with no significant differences. Interpretation of anxiety outcomes is limited by the use of a trait-based measure, which may reflect the limited sensitivity of trait-based measure to short-term changes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Integrating music therapy into routine speech-language rehabilitation for post-stroke aphasia is feasible in a real-world outpatient setting. Findings should be interpreted as exploratory and reflective of increased therapeutic exposure rather than modality-specific effectiveness.
