Investigation of the Effect of muSic on the Stress of Preterm neONates Through innovATive Applications (SONATA)

Sponsor: University of West Attica

Summary

The goal of this prospective randomized clinical trial is to investigate the effect of music intervention on the stress of live born preterm neonates requiring admission to a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, through the measurements of salivary biomarkers (hormones and proteins). The main question it aims to answer is: Can the daily music intervention reduce the stress levels created by the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit environment in preterm neonates? Researchers will compare preterm neonates who will not be exposed to music intervention to investigate potential discrepancies in salivary stress biomarkers. Participants will be exposed to recorded music for 5 consecutive days.
