Music to help sedate adults on a breathing machine
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You must be in the ICU.

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 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 whether listening to music during movement exercises (like sitting up or walking) helps reduce discomfort in ICU patients. If you are calm enough and speak Dutch, this might be an option for you.
This study uses music therapy to help children stay calm and have stable vital signs while their breathing tube is removed. It may help reduce stress during this important step.
This trial tests whether listening to music can help prevent delirium (sudden confusion) in older patients in the intensive care unit. If it works, it could offer a simple, drug-free way to protect your thinking during a hospital stay.
This study tests whether listening to different types of music combined with mindful breathing exercises can help reduce pain, anxiety, and confusion in people staying in the ICU. Researchers want to see if this combination therapy helps you feel better during your ICU stay.
