ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is exploring whether the sound of ocean waves can help soothe babies who experience infantile colic, a common condition that causes excessive crying in newborns. Colic can be very distressing for both babies and their parents, as it often leads to signs like a hard tummy, clenched fists, and difficulty calming down. The study aims to see if listening to calming ocean sounds can provide relief for babies aged 0 to 3 months who have been diagnosed with colic.

To participate in this trial, babies must be between 0 and 3 months old, have been diagnosed with infantile colic by a healthcare provider, and have passed a newborn hearing test. It's important that the babies don’t have any other health issues, and mothers should be able to understand Turkish. During the study, parents can expect to see if the soothing sounds help reduce their baby's crying episodes. This research could provide new insights into managing colic, making it easier for families to cope with this challenging condition.
