Summary

Labour pain is the result of complex and subjective interactions of multiple physiologic and psychosocial factors on a woman's interpretation of labour stimuli. It is an integral part of the labour process, often associated with anxiety and being subjective, affects each woman's experience of the birthing process in differing ways.

This will be a randomized clinical trial, involving primiparous women presenting to the University Hospital of the West Indies (UHWI) for labour and delivery. Primiparous, term women in labour will be eligible and randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive music plus standard of care during labour and standard care without music therapy.

The primary outcome of this study will be to determine whether music therapy is an effective adjunct or alternative to pharmacological therapies for pain and anxiety management in labour. The secondary outcome would be to assess the effect of music on labour duration, operative delivery rates, abnormal foetal heart rate patterns and APGAR scores. Approximately 260 primigravida women would be recruited and invited to participate in this randomized clinical trial over an eight-month period.
