The National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) awarded the University of Texas at Austin $430,884 under the Nursing Research program (CFDA 93.361) on March 23, 2026, for the "Music-4-MS to Improve Cognition in People Living with Multiple Sclerosis: A Feasibility Study" project, with completion targeted for February 29, 2028. This Project Grant funds a 12-week, music-based eHealth intervention designed to address cognitive impairment affecting up to 70% of individuals with MS (MS). The intervention leverages multisensory stimulation through musical instrument training to enhance neuroplasticity and cognitive function, representing an innovative departure from traditional visual or speech-focused cognitive rehabilitation approaches. The study will evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of the Music-4-MS intervention across multiple outcome domains, including objective and subjective cognitive performance, psychosocial factors such as anxiety and depression, and functional capacity. By combining music training's documented benefits for frontal lobe function, working memory, and executive function with digital delivery capabilities, the research aims to generate preliminary evidence supporting the efficacy of this multimodal cognitive rehabilitation strategy for MS populations. The award supports investigator-initiated nursing research aligned with NINR's emphasis on holistic, patient-centered interventions addressing chronic disease management and quality of life improvements across the lifespan.Federal Grant Award Summary
