Comfort, kangaroo care, and music therapy for NICU newborns
This trial tests whether a comfortable environment, kangaroo care (skin-to-skin contact), and music therapy can help newborns in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). It aims to see if these gentle approaches improve their well-being.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Baby is in the NICU (newborn intensive care unit).
- Baby is not on a breathing tube (not intubated).
- Baby's health is stable enough for these gentle therapies.

This trial tests whether gentle sensory interventions, like soothing touch, can help stable newborns in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) feel more comfortable and possibly improve their sleep and well-being. It aims to see if these calming techniques are safe and beneficial for babies recovering without needing a breathing machine.
This study tests whether a special care program including skin-to-skin contact and storytelling helps preterm babies feel more comfortable, grow better, and learn to feed by mouth sooner. It compares this extra care to the usual hospital 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 study tests whether holding your baby skin-to-skin (kangaroo care) and singing lullabies can help keep both your and your baby's heart rate and breathing steady, and may help lower your stress levels. If your baby was born early but is stable, this simple, comforting activity might be a safe way to bond and feel calmer.
This study tests if playing two types of music—TUMATA and Mozart—can help babies in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) sleep better and feel more comfortable. If your baby is a full-term newborn in the NICU and breathing on their own, this music therapy might help them rest.
This study looks at whether music therapy can help infants who are born with neonatal abstinence syndrome (withdrawal symptoms after birth). It may support comfort, bonding, or overall newborn well-being while they’re in the NICU.
