Music Therapy During Labor

This intervention involves the use of patient-selected, slow-tempo (60-80 bpm), non-lyrical instrumental music administered via headphones or speakers during the latent and active phases of labor. The music selection is guided to ensure therapeutic suitability (e.g., calming rhythm, absence of lyrics) and is delivered for a minimum of 30 minutes. The intervention is non-pharmacological, individualized, and adheres to WHO and clinical music therapy recommendations. It is distinguished by its personalized music choice, delivery timing, and structured application within labor progression monitoring.
