Music therapy for premature infants and their parents/caregivers:

"LongSTEP: Longitudinal Study of music Therapy's Effectiveness for Premature infants and their caregivers." This international, multi-site randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the long-term impact of music therapy on parent-infant bonding, infant development, and parental mental well-being. The trial is currently being conducted in five countries, and in partnership with eight different neonatal intensive care units. LongSTEP is funded by the Research Council of Norway under the program BEHANDLING (grant no. 273534, grant period 2018 - 2022). LongSTEP is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03564184).

LongSTEP is an international project hosted by GAMUT – The Grieg Academy Music Therapy Research Centre, a twin center collaboration between NORCE Norwegian Research Centre AS and University of Bergen. LongSTEP links NICUs in Bergen and Oslo with those in four other countries with similar social support cultures (Poland, Israel, Columbia & Argentina).

Music therapy is offered during NICU hospitalization, and for the first six months following discharge. The model enables parents to assume a central role in the care of their infant, with the music therapist providing support and coaching to enable parents to use their innate resources to promote developmentally-appropriate musical co-regulation of the parent/infant dyad, improve quality of interaction and enable healthy bonding during this vulnerable time. The long-term aim is to assure healthy infant/parent relation and improve infant developmental outcomes and promote parental psychological well-being over the first year of the infant’s life.

The LongSTEP trial was informed by a systematic review and meta-analysis completed by our team (Bieleninik, Ghetti, & Gold. Music therapy for preterm infants and their parents: A meta-analysis. Pediatrics. 2016; 138(3)), along with outcomes from small-scale feasibility studies of the LongSTEP intervention conducted in Norway and Poland in 2018.

Music therapy for adults with substance use problems: 

The preliminary stage of this long-term project involves the completion of a Cochrane systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (Cochrane protocol: "Music therapy for people with substance use disorders" Ghetti, Chen, Brenner, Hakvoort, Lien, Fachner, & Gold, 2020; Cochrane review currently in progress) followed by the development of an agenda for future research in the field.
