Music interventions to improve women’s health outcomes in the preconception, antepartum, intrapartum, and postpartum periods: An overview of reviews

Music interventions are a promising approach for women across the perinatal continuum of care. However, significant concerns with the methodological rigor of existing studies need to be addressed before implementation in clinical settings. Further research is critical to identifying design characteristics and implementation modalities of music interventions that most effectively improve women's health outcomes. Strengthening the evidence on music interventions is vital to informing the effective integration of complementary and alternative medicine approaches into person-centered care strategies for women's health.
