ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is exploring how different types of music interventions, either live or digital, can help improve the mental health of pregnant women and their babies. The study will compare the effects of attending live concerts and workshops, where participants can sing and dance together, to participating in similar activities from home through digital means. Researchers hope to find out if being physically present at live events offers more benefits for reducing stress and improving overall mood during pregnancy.

To be eligible for this study, pregnant women must be between 10 to 20 weeks along, aged 18 to 50, and should be able to understand either German or English. They should not have any serious medical or mental health issues. Participants will be assigned to one of the two groups—live or digital interventions—and will be asked to complete various questionnaires and tests throughout their pregnancy and after the birth of their baby to measure their mental health and their child’s development. This trial aims to provide valuable insights, especially for women in stressful situations, such as those living in challenging environments, by offering accessible ways to support their wellbeing during pregnancy.
