NCT ID NCT07356830
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether music therapy can reduce anxiety and improve pregnancy rates in women receiving artificial insemination. Researchers will compare pregnancy outcomes in 254 women who receive standard care plus music therapy versus standard care alone. The goal is to see if a simple, non-invasive intervention can ease stress and potentially increase the chances of conception.
