Comfort, kangaroo care, and music therapy for NICU newborns
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
