Music listening for children on breathing machines
Part of Mental health, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 2 months and 17 years old
- Be on a breathing machine (intubated and receiving mechanical ventilation)
- Expect to stay in the PICU for more than 72 hours
- If the main caregiver does not read, write, and speak English, the child cannot join
- The child should be likely to survive the PICU stay
- The child should not have both-ears deafness, a past music-triggered seizure history, or be receiving certain paralysis medication by continuous infusion

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 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 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.
