ICU recovery boost: music and touch may speed healing after heart surgery
NCT ID NCT07116941
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether adding sensory and cognitive activities—like listening to music, gentle touch, or brain exercises—to standard ICU care can help adults recover faster after heart surgery. About 125 patients will be randomly assigned to one of four groups to see which approach best reduces anxiety, improves vital signs, and boosts physical independence. The goal is to find simple, drug-free ways to support recovery in the intensive care unit.
