BSU Student Wants To Help Youngest Opioid Victims

A BSU Honors College student is assembling a research team to determine if soothing lullaby music combined with gentle rocking will aid newborns suffering from drug withdrawal. Hannah Fluhler is proposing a pilot study to be conducted in the neonatal intensive care unit at Indiana University Health Ball Memorial Hospital in Muncie after approval by research oversight committees. The study hopes to examine the effects of movement and music therapy for these tiniest victims of the opioid crisis.
