Article Synopsis
- Preterm children face risks for neurodevelopmental issues, prompting the exploration of music therapy (MT) as a potential aid for language development.
- The LongSTEP study analyzed the effects of parent-led, infant-directed singing during and after NICU stays, involving participants from 8 NICUs across 5 countries and tracking outcomes at 24 months' corrected age.
- Results indicated varying effects on language development for children receiving MT compared to standard care, highlighting the significance of interventions tailored to premature infants and their families.
Article Synopsis
- Parent-infant bonding is crucial for long-term infant health, but preterm birth can disrupt this connection.
- This study aimed to evaluate whether parent-led, infant-directed singing, with the help of a music therapist in the NICU, improves bonding at 6 and 12 months for preterm infants and their parents.
- Conducted in multiple countries with 206 participants, results indicated that music therapy may positively impact mother-infant bonding, as assessed by the Postpartum Bonding Questionnaire, although specifics on the effects were still being analyzed.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the effects of music therapy (MT) on mother-infant bonding, parental anxiety, and maternal depression in families with premature infants in NICUs across five countries.
- It involved a randomized controlled trial with 213 families, where one group received standard care and the other participated in parent-led music therapy sessions.
- The results showed no significant differences in bonding, anxiety, or depression between the music therapy group and the standard care group at the time of discharge from the hospital.
Background: Cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) is effective in chronic fatigue (CF) syndrome. However, CBT has not been investigated in postinfectious CF, nor is it known whether addition of therapeutic elements from other disciplines might be useful. We explored combined CBT and music therapy intervention for CF following Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection in adolescents.
