Implication

Randomized controlled trial compared music therapy and storytelling effects on physiological parameters in preterm infants, suggesting music therapy offers greater benefits.

Key Points

Music therapy led to a greater reduction in heart rate compared to storytelling in preterm infants, which improves physiological health.
Preterm infants undergoing music therapy showed significant improvements in oxygen saturation over those experiencing storytelling, indicating better respiratory health.
Both interventions positively affected behavioral states, but music therapy demonstrated superior benefits on the COMFORTneo scale compared to storytelling.
The findings highlight the importance of music therapy in neonatal care, offering an effective alternative to traditional caregiving methods.
