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.
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.
