The study aims to analyse the impact of music therapy-based treatment on the comfort and well-being of patients with acquired brain injury (ABI). To achieve this objective, it is proposed to validate and implement a music therapy-based assessment and treatment protocol. The protocol will be tested in a pilot sample to improve adaptation to the disease and promote integration with the usual health measures of patients with ABI. Implementing a group treatment programme based on music therapy applied to patients with ABI.

The Discomfort Observation Scale (DOS) is a tool used to assess discomfort in patients with severe cognitive impairment in end-of-life situations. The Discomfort Observation Scale (DOS) is a tool used to assess discomfort in patients with severe cognitive impairment in end-of-life situations. The Discomfort Observation Scale (DOS) is a tool used to assess discomfort in patients with severe cognitive impairment in end-of-life situations. It consists of nine items that evaluate factors such as noisy breathing, body language, facial expressions, and verbalizations. Each observation is scored dichotomously (0-1, presence-absence), resulting in a score range of 0 to 9. A higher score indicates less discomfort. The language used is clear, concise, and objective, adhering to formal register and precise word choice. The text is grammatically correct and follows conventional structure and formatting features.
Time frame: Baseline up to 1 week

Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI),
This tool predicts the one-year mortality rate for patients with various comorbid conditions, including heart disease, AIDS, and cancer (a total of 8 conditions in the short version). The measure assigns a score to each condition based on the associated risk of death. A score of 0 to 1 indicates no comorbidity, 2 points indicates low comorbidity, and 3 points or more indicates high comorbidity. The total score predicts mortality.
