Testing music to improve breathing and brain oxygen in preemies
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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 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 studies whether music during early pregnancy can help lower the chance of preterm birth (baby arriving too early). It is aimed at healthy pregnant people in the first three months of pregnancy.
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.
This trial studies whether playing music at different speeds (tempos) helps preterm babies feed better. It aims to see if certain music can improve feeding skills in infants born early.
This trial reviews studies that tested music-based treatments for premature infants in the NICU. It looks at how music affects babies' sleep and physical responses, to see if it can help them rest and recover better.
This study tests whether specially designed music can help reduce stress in premature babies. It may help your baby feel more calm and stable in the hospital.
