Audio recordings to help breathing control mature in preterm babies
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial studies whether listening to special “womb” sounds can help a preterm baby’s breathing control develop as they grow. It may help babies who are already breathing on their own (with low or no extra oxygen support).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby was born between 29 and 33 weeks of pregnancy (gestational age)
- Your baby is now about 34 weeks corrected age
- Your baby is off breathing machines or any breathing support above 1.5 liters per minute
- Your baby is not receiving respiratory support greater than 1.5 liters per minute
- Your baby does not have known congenital (born-with) major anomalies

This study uses special microphones to listen to and record breathing sounds in extremely premature infants (born before 29 weeks). The goal is to develop a simple, non-invasive way to detect breathing problems early so babies can get help faster.
This study tests a new way to reduce the number of times a preemie baby stops breathing (apnea). It's for babies born early who have apnea but are not on a breathing machine.
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 is testing whether the sound of the bubbles in a CPAP machine can tell doctors how much pressure is being delivered to a premature baby's lungs. If it works, this could help doctors make sure babies are getting the right amount of breathing support without extra procedures.
This study is testing a new tool that may help predict when babies born very early might have breathing pauses or slow heart rates. By using this tool, doctors hope to better monitor and care for your baby.
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.
