Soothing sounds: music therapy may ease First-Night fears for heart patients
NCT ID NCT07454434
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether listening to music can help lower anxiety and improve sleep in people who have had a heart attack and are spending their first night in a special heart unit. About 64 adults will take part. They will listen to music and then use eye masks and earplugs overnight. The goal is to see if this simple, drug-free approach helps them feel calmer and sleep better.
