The Synchrony Study: Examining Music Training for Children With FASD (NCT06005181)
The Synchrony Study: A Randomized Controlled Trial of Music Training for Children With a Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The goal of this clinical trial is to examine if music training improves behavioral or cognitive performance in children with prenatal alcohol exposure who meet research criteria for a fetal alcohol spectrum disorder. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does music training improve behavioral regulation for children with an FASD * Does music training improve cognitive performance (attention and working memory) for children with an FASD. The study has two interventions for each participant: music listening and piano training. Each participant will either practice piano daily for 12 weeks or listen to pre-selected music daily for 12 weeks. The order of the interventions will be randomized across participants. Assessment will occur before and after participation in each 12 week intervention.
