Aim This literature review of music therapy (MT) in Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU) provide an overview of the national and international literature, identify trends in intervention research over the past decade, and identify future issues. Methods We conducted a literature search using databases contracted by affiliated institutions. We found 145 search results from PubMed, 19 from ICHUSHI-Web, and 8 from CiNii, However, we excluded the Cinii results because they were all duplicates. Results From 164 references, excluding conference proceedings and literature reviews, we screened the texts and abstracts; 15 references were included if they were intervention studies of MT in the NICUs and met US PRISM evidence level criteria I-2 and I-3. Conclusion Intervention studies in the last decade have reported effects of MT on both mothers and infants. In addition, MT tended to have physiological and psychological effects. Future work is needed to further clarify the uniformity (rather than diversity) of evaluation measures and the differences in effects between MT delivery methods.
