Music therapy for adults on breathing machines in the ICU
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether music therapy can improve comfort and recovery for adults who need a breathing machine (mechanical ventilation) in the ICU for at least 48 hours. It may help with stress, mood, and other ICU-related symptoms while you are in critical care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be an adult (18 or older) in the ICU
- You need a breathing machine (invasive mechanical ventilation) and are expected to stay on it for 48 hours or more
- You have a serious lung breathing problem like low oxygen, high carbon dioxide, or ARDS (acute respiratory distress syndrome)
- You do not have a known hearing problem
- You are not deeply unresponsive or in a very unsafe brain state (RASS -4 or -5)
- You have not had long-term, chronic breathing failure that required a breathing machine before

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a new breathing method (high-frequency oscillatory ventilation) for patients in the ICU who need a breathing tube. It looks at how safe it is and how it affects the body, and is for people with certain lung problems like ARDS or collapsed lungs.
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.
This trial looks at whether listening to music can help make “pharmacological sedation” (medicine to help you relax/sleep) easier or more comfortable for adults in the ICU who are on a ventilator (breathing machine). It may help improve comfort during critical care treatment.
This study tests whether listening to music can help children who are in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) and need a breathing machine. It looks at the “how it works” side—whether music changes things in the body or brain during intensive care.
This study tests if music therapy can help children who are receiving breathing support (non-invasive ventilation) in the pediatric intensive care unit. It aims to reduce stress and discomfort during treatment.
This study tests whether listening to music can reduce anxiety in people who have been on a breathing machine (ventilator) for more than 3 weeks. Researchers hope music may help ease worry and improve comfort while you recover.
