Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

AIM: to investigate the influence of different music genres on Heart Rate Variability (HRV) of preterm infants.

HRV has been previously used to evaluate autonomic nervous system fluctuations in heart rate related to maturation in healthy neonates and in neonates with pathological conditions. This parameter has been used to show how music could improve well-being and the development of the autonomic nervous system in infants.

In this study, neonates (see also inclusion/exclusion criteria), recruited on the basis of birth order, 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.
