Music Therapy for Anxiety in Long-Term Ventilator Patients
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether listening to music can reduce anxiety in people who have been on a breathing machine (ventilator) for more than 3 weeks. Researchers hope music may help ease worry and improve comfort while you recover.
