ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
We have recently showed that Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's music significantly lowers resting energy expenditure (REE) in preterm infants. Whether or not this effect is specific to Mozart is unknown.OBJECTIVES:
To study whether familiar ("ethnic") music has the same effect on REE in preterm infants as music by Mozart.METHODS:
A prospective, randomized clinical trial with cross-over was conducted in 9 healthy, appropriate weights for gestational age, gavage fed, preterm infants. Infants were randomized to be exposed to a 30-minute period of Mozart music or "ethnic" music or no music over 3 consecutive days. Metabolic measurements were performed by indirect calorimetry.RESULTS:
A total of 27 REE measurements were performed. On average REE was lower in preterm infants who were exposed to "ethnic" music compared to preterm infants who were exposed to music by Mozart (p=0.388). REE was lower in preterm infants who didn't listen to music at all compared to Mozart (p=0.014) or to "ethnic" (p=0.134).CONCLUSIONS:
Exposure to music by Mozart significantly elevated REE in healthy preterm infants compared to preterm infants who didn't listen to music at all. Nevertheless a trend of lower REE was demonstrated when preterm infants listened to "ethnic" music compared to Mozart.DISCUSSION:
We were unable to demonstrate a significant decrease in REE by exposure of preterm infants to Mozart- or "familiar" music. At this time point we cannot recommend music therapy for preterm infants in order to lower the REE. We speculate that a larger study sample might show a definite effect.
