Summary

This study looked at whether listening to music during a routine fetal monitoring test (non-stress test) helps reduce anxiety and loneliness in pregnant women. 100 pregnant women were randomly assigned to listen to music or receive standard care during the test. Researchers measured changes in anxiety, mood, and fetal responses. The goal is to see if music can be a simple, drug-free way to improve the experience.
