Numerous varieties of interventions have decreased the mortality and morbidity of preterms. Due to the fact that more infants survive, developmental care has become a crucial topic. In this context, music therapy offers some interesting aspects for parents and children. Starting as an emotional approach, music therapy has developed towards a systematic therapeutic option in neonatal care.
To assess the relevance of music therapy for neonates.
We present 3 typical case reports and give an overview of the current literature regarding music therapy in neonatology.
Case 1: Focus on the child, especially the respiratory system. Case 2: Focus on care and assistance for the mother. Case 3: Focus on mother-father-child interaction.
These cases show the varieties of indications and possible effects of music therapy. We discuss our own experience ranging over 20 years and give a review on the literature concerning the different aspects of music therapy in neonates.
Probably without any severe adverse effects, music therapy has positive effects on basic vital signs, the reduction of pain and on neurological development. Furthermore, it grants the parents' wish to participate in the well-being of their child. Nevertheless, the need for a specific setting, its methods, and its positive as well as possible negative effects are still open issues and need scientific evaluation.
多种干预措施已降低了早产儿的死亡率和发病率。由于更多婴儿得以存活，发育照护已成为一个关键话题。在此背景下，音乐疗法为父母和孩子提供了一些有趣的方面。音乐疗法最初是一种情感方法，现已发展成为新生儿护理中的一种系统治疗选择。
评估音乐疗法对新生儿的相关性。
我们呈现3个典型病例报告，并概述当前关于新生儿学中音乐疗法的文献。
病例1：关注患儿，尤其是呼吸系统。病例2：关注对母亲的护理和帮助。病例3：关注母婴互动。
这些病例展示了音乐疗法的适应证种类和可能的效果。我们讨论了我们自己20多年的经验，并对有关新生儿音乐疗法不同方面的文献进行了综述。
音乐疗法可能没有任何严重不良反应，对基本生命体征、疼痛减轻和神经发育有积极影响。此外，它满足了父母参与孩子福祉的愿望。然而，其特定环境需求、方法以及积极和可能的消极影响仍是未解决的问题，需要科学评估。
