Starry sky and mother's voice to help sleep after heart surgery
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether seeing a starry sky projection and hearing your voice can help your child sleep better after heart surgery in the intensive care unit. If it works, it could make their recovery more comfortable and less stressful.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child has been diagnosed with congenital heart disease (a heart problem present from birth).
- Your child is between 6 months and 6 years old.
- Your child is scheduled for their first planned open-heart surgery and will stay in the heart intensive care unit for at least 48 hours after surgery.
- You, as a parent or legal guardian, are willing to give written consent for your child to participate.

This study looks at whether children who have trouble sleeping before heart surgery are more likely to be confused or disoriented after the surgery. It may help doctors find ways to reduce these risks.
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 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.

It uses brain wave monitoring to guide the therapy. Participation may improve your child's brain function after surgery.
