Abstract
Surviviors of extreme prematurity (less than 26 weeks gestational age) may have long-term impairment, including developmental disabilities and neurological deficits that become evident as the child matures. Music has been used as an intervention purported to facilitate development in young, at-risk children in infant stimulation and early intervention programs. Over the past decade, music has been introduced into the neonatal intensive care unit as a therapy designed to enhance treatment and facilitate growth and development of premature infants. This report summarizes extant research on music therapy in the neonatal intensive care unit. Copyright © 2001 by W.B. Saunders Company
