NCT ID NCT05602883
First seen Sep 04, 2026 · Last updated Sep 04, 2026
Summary
This trial tests whether listening to music for 20 minutes can improve sleep quality and reduce risk perception in pregnant women hospitalized due to the threat of premature birth. Researchers will measure sleep using the Richard Campbell Sleep Quality Scale and risk perception with a pregnancy-specific scale. The study includes 80 women who speak Turkish, have a single pregnancy, and are aged 18 to 45.

- What this could lead to
- If it works, music therapy could offer a simple, drug-free way to improve sleep and ease anxiety about risk for pregnant women hospitalized with preterm birth threat.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small trial, and results may not apply to all women. Music therapy may not significantly change sleep or risk perception, and individual preferences vary.
