Summary

This study looks at whether playing recordings of family members' voices can help reduce pain and increase dopamine and serotonin levels in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Researchers will enroll 78 adults in the ICU who are unable to speak or respond easily. The goal is to see if this simple, low-cost, non-invasive approach can improve patient comfort and reduce the need for pain medications.
