Sponsor: Ospedale di Circolo - Fondazione Macchi
Summary
AIM: to investigate the influence of different music genres on Heart Rate Variability (HRV) of preterm infants. Neonates undergo a daily randomized music listening program. An electrocardiogram is performed to evaluate HRV parameters in each neonate with and without music exposure.

Interventions
The influence of different music genres on Heart Rate Variability (HRV) in preterm infants
Neonates undergo a daily randomized music listening program (25 minutes, every day, for 3 days) based on different music genres listening (soft pop-rap, pop-rock and classical music). Music programs is followed by 1 day of no music monitoring (25 minutes). An electrocardiogram is performed to evaluate HRV parameters in each neonate with and without music exposure
