Sponsor's own description
This study aims to provide initial evidence for the use of music therapy in the NICU in a UK context. In other countries, such as the US and the Netherlands, music therapy is routinely provided in the NICU and research has demonstrated benefits for the both the child and their caregivers. As there is no existing UK-based research on music therapy in the NICU, medical institutions are reluctant to consider the benefits of music therapy. This reduces infants' access to non-invasive treatment in the NICU. Our study aims to address this gap.
