improvisational music therapy through software in the sensorial, emotional and musical aspects of deaf children and young people. Method: randomized. controlled trial with 38 participants divided into two groups: music therapy treatment using the "CromoTMusic" software (n = 19) and the use of musical education by vibration (n = 19). Measurements of the three outcomes (before, during and after the interventions) were performed by the Brazilian version of the Individualized Music Therapy Assessment Profile (IMTAP) scale. Results: the music therapy treatment was superior to the control treatment in all intergroup comparisons, except for the comparison of the Sensorial (Fundamentals) between T2 and T1, for all the outcomes of the Sensorial subdomain (Proprioceptive), for the Musicality (Fundamentals) between T2 and T1 and for all outcomes of the Musicality (Dynamic) subdomain. Conclusions: Although the results are positive, it is not possible to generalize the findings of this study, considering that this was the first RCT on the subject.
