Music during nursing care to improve comfort after an acute stroke in the neurovascular ICU
Evaluation of the Effect of Music During Nursing Care on the Confort of Patient Hospitalized in Intensive Care Unit During the Acute Phase of a Stroke
We will see if playing music during nursing care helps adults hospitalized in the neurovascular ICU after an acute stroke feel more comfortable.

What this trial studies
This interventional trial compares using music during routine nursing care (for example a complete bed bath) to standard care in adults hospitalized in a neurovascular intensive care unit after an acute stroke. Eligible patients provide informed consent and receive either music played during the nursing procedure or the usual care without music. Comfort and related outcomes are measured before and after the nursing intervention using validated patient-reported and observational measures. The goal is to determine whether adding music to bedside care improves patient comfort in the acute phase of stroke.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Adults (18+) who speak French, are hospitalized in the Neurovascular Intensive Care Unit with a confirmed stroke, require a complete bed bath by nursing staff, are insured, and can give free, informed consent.
Not a fit: Patients with impaired comprehension (severe aphasia, pre-existing cognitive disorder, confusion), non–French speakers, blind patients, or those under legal protection or deprivation of liberty are excluded and unlikely to benefit from this intervention.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, adding music during nursing care could make routine procedures less stressful and increase comfort for patients recovering from an acute stroke in the ICU.
How similar studies have performed: Previous studies in ICU and stroke populations have suggested that recorded or live music can reduce anxiety and improve subjective comfort, though results are variable and study methods differ.
