Effects of a Musical Intervention on Hormonal and Inflammatory Biomarkers in Mechanically Ventilated Critically Ill Patients
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Music Therapy for Sedation and 4 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 110 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This randomized clinical trial evaluates the effects of a musical intervention on hormonal and inflammatory biomarkers in sedated adult patients undergoing invasive mechanical ventilation in an intensive care unit. Serum cortisol, prolactin, and interleukin-6 levels are measured before and after the intervention, together with hemodynamic parameters. The aim is to assess whether music modulates physiological stress and inflammatory responses in critically ill patients
