Summary

This study tests whether playing soft music or using a musical mobile can reduce pain and stress in infants when chest tubes are removed after heart surgery. Fifty-four babies aged 2 to 12 months will be randomly assigned to hear music, see a musical mobile, or receive standard care. Researchers will measure pain scores, heart rate, and oxygen levels to see if these calming interventions help.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
music and musical mobile interventions
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, drug-free way to ease pain and stress for infants during a painful procedure.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 54 infants, so results may not apply to all babies. The effect may be small or hard to measure.
