Recruiting NA Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome

New treatment option for Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome

Official title The Effects of Music Therapy on Adult Patients Requiring Mechanical Ventilation in the ICU

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT03642002

What this study is testing

What it's testing
While most studies in the medical literature that indicate "music" as an intervention may recognize its impact and capacity to decrease pain perception, anxiety, and/or its role in the regulation of cardiac and respiratory function in ICU patients, no identifiable studies have implemented entrained live music therapy protocols into clinical trials. Music therapy treatment is a non-pharmacological intervention that is individually tailored to the patient's needs and focuses on the assessment and intervention of a specific music application that is provided by a certified music therapist.
