Summary
This study tested whether listening to music during a daily cleaning procedure can reduce pain in children aged 6 months to 15 years in a pediatric intensive care unit. Each child experienced the cleaning twice—once with music and once without—and pain was measured using a standard scale. The goal is to find a simple, non-drug way to make routine care less painful for seriously ill children.
