NCT ID NCT06621238
First seen Aug 10, 2026 · Last updated Aug 11, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study explores whether listening to music after a cesarean section can help first-time mothers feel less pain and anxiety, and improve their breastfeeding success. Participants will be divided into groups, with one group listening to music and the other receiving standard care. Researchers will measure pain levels, anxiety scores, and breastfeeding outcomes to see if music makes a meaningful difference.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Listening to music
- What this could lead to
- If effective, music could become a simple, drug-free way to help new mothers recover more comfortably after a C-section and support successful breastfeeding.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study, and results may not apply to all women. Music's effect on pain and anxiety can be subjective, and it may not significantly change breastfeeding outcomes.
