Brief Summary:
Background: Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is a neurological condition caused by poor oxygenation during the peripartum period. The main strategy to mitigate neurological damage is hypothermic therapy (HT), whose effectiveness-among other factors-depends on adequate pain management. Considering the prevalence of allodynia in this group of patients, routine nursing procedures can become sources of additional stress and pain. Music therapy is used in this population to promote self-regulation and relaxation, and may therefore help reduce pain levels after routine nursing procedures.
Research question: What is the effect of an entrainment-based live music therapy intervention on pain levels in newborns with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy undergoing hypothermic therapy after routine nursing procedures? Methodology: A randomized, crossover pilot and feasibility study. Participants will be 22 newborns admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) of the University Hospital Fundación Santa Fe de Bogotá. Participants will receive standard care plus a 15-minute live music therapy session after a routine nursing procedure, or standard care alone. The primary outcome is the Premature Infant Pain Profile-Revised (PIPP-R) scale, which will be assessed through video recordings. Secondary outcomes are vital signs, heart rate variability, and electroencephalography (EEG) recordings.
Expected outcomes: Through this study, the aim is to improve the comfort and well-being of patients with HIE during TH. In addition, the safety and feasibility of music therapy in this population will be evaluated, seeking to contribute to current knowledge about the mechanisms of music therapy.
