Music and Mobile Apps to Help Babies With Heart Surgery Pain
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether music and a mobile app can help reduce pain and stress in babies aged 2–12 months who have had heart surgery. Researchers will measure pain levels and vital signs like heart rate and breathing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether a fun, play-based activity can help lower anxiety in children who are about to have heart surgery for a congenital heart defect. The play may help children feel calmer and more relaxed before their operation.
This trial tests whether creative music therapy can help newborn babies who have congenital heart disease (CHD) while they are in intensive care. It focuses on babies who are otherwise very young and in the NICU or PICU, regardless of CHD severity.
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 playing personalized music during and after specific surgeries can reduce “emergence agitation,” a period of distress or confusion as a patient wakes up from anesthesia. It may help children feel calmer by using music they connect with.
This study tests whether playing gentle music during a lumbar puncture (a spinal tap) can help lower a baby's pain. It's for newborn infants who need this procedure and have normal hearing.
This study tests whether playing music and reducing noise in the operating room can lower the amount of anesthesia and pain medicine needed for children aged 3 to 18 during surgery. It may help children feel more comfortable and recover more smoothly.
