Study Summary

This trial looks at the effects of music therapy on people who are on mechanical ventilation in an ICU.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adult ICU patients with severe breathing problems who need a machine to help them breathe and are expected to need it for at least 48 hours. It's not for those under 18, with hearing issues, chronic breathing failure history, on multiple strong medications for blood pressure, in a coma, having seizures or cardiac arrest, deeply sedated (RASS score -4 or -5), or nearing end of life.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests live music therapy tailored to each patient by certified therapists. The therapy includes toning and melodies aimed at syncing with the patient’s vital signs to see if it can reduce the time they spend on mechanical ventilation in the ICU.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this is a non-drug treatment focusing on music therapy provided by professionals trained to adjust interventions according to patient response, significant side effects are not anticipated. However, individual reactions may vary.
