Although MT is routinely practiced in intensive care and rehabilitation settings, its applications in a neurocritical care context during acute DoC treatment and recovery are underexplored. Further, the subjective nature of music, music preferences, and the variability in patient responses to music-particularly in patients with SABI and DoC-pose unique challenges for implementing a one-size-fits-all approach. Through our institution's experience with MT and a review of previously published evidence, this article illustrates the application of our MT approach as a noninvasive, holistic, and individualized intervention.
