The team studied people who had suffered a left-sided stroke, which had damaged speech areas in the brain’s left hemisphere, leading to difficulties speaking.Singing was thought to stimulate areas in the right hemisphere, which would then assume the function for damaged left speech areas. Recent research has shown that changes indeed occur in the right brain hemisphere of patients after singing formulaic phrases like ‘How are you?’ over a period of months.

为了找出唱歌是如何如何治疗口吃的，本杰明·斯塔尔和同事们实施了一次研究。17位有言语障碍的中风患者必须清晰的说出几千个音节，这些音节在有节奏或无节奏的伴奏下被演唱及背诵。结果表明，唱歌并不是治疗这些患者的决定性因素。对歌词的熟悉度以及文字是否包含公式化短语更重要。

To find out how singing works, Benjamin Stahl and colleagues conducted a study in which 17 stroke patients with speech problems had to articulate several thousand syllables, which were sung and recited with rhythmic or arrhythmic accompaniment。The results showed that singing was not the decisive factor for the patients. The level of familiarity with the song lyrics and whether the texts contained formulaic phrases was found to be even more important.

目前，本杰明·斯塔尔正在进行更进一步的研究。这很可能会有令人兴奋的前景，很可能会提高患者生活质量。
