An interventional study of Music Therapy and Holy Qur'an Recitation in Sleep Wake Disorders, sponsored by Rawand Shafeeq Ali. Active, not recruiting at 1 site in Iraq. Open to participants aged 6 Years to 10 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-06-02.
Sponsored by Rawand Shafeeq Ali · Not applicable, Interventional, and Supportive care
This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effect of listening to Holy Qur'an recitation compared with music sound on sleep quality among children aged 6 to 10 years undergoing chemotherapy. Sleep disturbances are common in pediatric oncology patients and may negatively affect recovery, emotional well-being, and overall quality of life. Non-pharmacological interventions such as auditory therapy may help improve sleep without medication-related side effects.
Participants will be randomly assigned to either a Holy Qur'an listening group or a music sound listening group. Each intervention will be applied during bedtime over a specified period. Sleep quality will be assessed using the Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ) and optional sleep diary data.
The study hypothesizes that children who listen to Holy Qur'an recitation will demonstrate greater improvement in sleep quality compared to those who listen to music sound. The findings may provide evidence for safe, culturally appropriate, and non-pharmacological interventions to enhance sleep quality in children undergoing chemotherapy.
788 studies on the registry are indexed under Sleep Wake Disorders; 186 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 90 is above the median of 62 across 548 interventional studies indexed under Sleep Wake Disorders.
