Bacterial meningitis is a serious infection that is more common in newborns is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The gold standard for the diagnosis of bacterial meningitis is a positive cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) culture, usually obtained via lumbar puncture (LP). İnfants and children have similar physiological responses to pain as adults has led to greater emphasis on the assessment and management of pain in children. Therefore, management of painful interventions is important. Music may improve oxygen saturation in preterm infants undergoing endotracheal suctioning and may also reduce stress and pain in children undergoing painful medical procedures such as intravenous injections, lumbar punctures, and dental procedures. Although there are studies in the literature examining the effect of music therapy on heel blood collection or intravenous injection, no study has been found examining the effect of music therapy on the baby's pain perception during lumbar puncture. The aim of this study is to examine whether music therapy applied during lumbar puncture affects the baby's reactions to pain.
