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.
