NCT ID NCT07624097
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether listening to music (Taiwan-localized or classical) combined with mindful breathing can reduce delirium, pain, and anxiety in ICU patients. Fifty-one adults at risk for delirium will receive the intervention twice daily for five days. Researchers will measure delirium severity, pain, and anxiety to see if this low-cost, non-drug approach helps.

Active substance
music therapy (Taiwan-localized or classical) combined with mindful breathing
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, drug-free way to lower delirium and improve comfort for ICU patients.

This is a small, early-stage trial with only 51 participants, so results may not apply widely. The effects of music and breathing can be hard to measure objectively.
