NCT ID NCT07621861
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares listening to Holy Qur'an recitation versus calming music before bed in children aged 6 to 10 who are undergoing chemotherapy. Sleep problems are common in these children, and the goal is to find a safe, non-medication way to improve sleep quality. Ninety children will be randomly assigned to one of the two groups, and their sleep will be measured using a parent-reported questionnaire.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Holy Qur'an recitation or calming music
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a safe, non-drug way to help children with cancer sleep better during chemotherapy.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 90 children, so results may not apply to everyone. Sleep quality is measured by parent reports, which can be subjective.
