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 looks at whether automatically adjusting oxygen levels for premature babies, compared with manual control, affects lung health when they reach early childhood. It involves simple breathing tests to see how their lungs are working.
This study tests whether listening to music during pregnancy can help prevent preterm birth. It is designed for healthy pregnant women in their first trimester.
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 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 trial tests whether specially selected music can help preterm infants in the NICU. It aims to improve their comfort and development during their hospital stay.
