Could womb sounds train preemies' brains to breathe?
NCT ID NCT05298748
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether playing womb-like sounds to preterm infants can help their brains mature and control breathing more steadily. Researchers will monitor 34 babies born at 29-33 weeks for breathing pauses, low oxygen, and slow heart rate. The goal is to understand how early sound exposure affects breathing control, not to test a treatment.
