Mother's voice, recreated by AI, may calm children during surgery
NCT ID NCT07706725
First seen Jul 16, 2026 · Last updated Jul 17, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether listening to an AI-generated version of their mother's voice telling a story can reduce stress and confusion in children waking up from tonsil surgery. Children aged 3 to 12 will be randomly assigned to hear the AI voice, relaxing instrumental music, or standard care through headphones during the procedure. The goal is to see if the familiar voice helps them recover more calmly and with less medication.
