Music therapy for newborns in the NICU with withdrawal symptoms
Part of Genetic & congenital, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at whether music therapy can help infants who are born with neonatal abstinence syndrome (withdrawal symptoms after birth). It may support comfort, bonding, or overall newborn well-being while they’re in the NICU.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial studies whether music-based therapy can help improve sleep and body functions in premature babies in the NICU. It looks at data from existing studies to see if music helps.
This study tests if playing two types of music—TUMATA and Mozart—can help babies in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) sleep better and feel more comfortable. If your baby is a full-term newborn in the NICU and breathing on their own, this music therapy might help them rest.
This study tests whether playing music for newborns undergoing cooling therapy for brain injury helps them feel more comfortable and recover better. Music therapy might reduce stress and improve outcomes for these babies.
This study tests if specially designed music can help premature babies' brains grow stronger and healthier. It is for very preterm infants born between 24 and 30 weeks of pregnancy.
This trial tests whether a comfortable environment, kangaroo care (skin-to-skin contact), and music therapy can help newborns in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). It aims to see if these gentle approaches improve their well-being.
This study looks at whether planned music sessions can help preterm babies breathe more steadily and improve oxygen reaching the brain. It may help staff learn how to use music therapy safely for newborns in the NICU.
