Soothing sounds: can live music ease pain in Brain-Injured newborns?
NCT ID NCT06951269
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This pilot study will test whether live, improvised music therapy can lower pain levels in 22 newborns with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) who are undergoing cooling therapy. Each baby will receive either standard care alone or standard care plus a 15-minute music session after a routine nursing procedure. Pain will be measured using a validated scale, and vital signs, heart rate variability, and brain activity will also be recorded.
What this could mean

- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a safe, drug-free way to ease pain and stress in newborns with HIE during cooling treatment.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small pilot study (22 infants) testing feasibility, not effectiveness. It may not show clear pain relief or be generalizable to other hospitals.
