Lullabies for epilepsy: a musical stress relief for expectant moms

NCT ID NCT05503290

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This pilot study tests whether participating in the Lullaby Project—where pregnant women with epilepsy work with musicians to create a personal lullaby—can improve their quality of life and reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. Thirty first-time pregnant women with epilepsy will be randomly assigned to the lullaby program or standard care. The goal is to see if this creative, non-drug approach offers emotional benefits during pregnancy.

Lullaby Project (music composition program)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a simple, non-drug way to ease stress and improve well-being during pregnancy for people with epilepsy.

What could go wrong

This is a very small pilot study (30 people) with no blinding, so results may not be generalizable. The main benefit is likely emotional support, not a medical treatment.
