This study aimed to observe the effects of music therapy on facial expressions of neonates admitted to a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. To this end, a field study was carried out at the NICU of a public institution in the city of João Pessoa. The sample consisted of 07 neonates. For data collection, a semi-structured form was used, elaborated by the researcher, containing information about neonates and the NFCS (Neonatal Facial Coding System) scale to assess facial expressions of pain before and after music therapy. The data were analyzed according to descriptive statistics criteria through software, EXCEL (2019) and then through SPSS. The research followed Resolution 466/12, which deals with research involving human beings, ensuring data confidentiality. The results obtained were that the predominance of male neonates (57%); presenting a greater number of operative deliveries (86%); with low numbers of 5 complications during pregnancy (14%) and childbirth (14%); mostly born with low weight (57%) and with late preterm gestational age (57%). Regarding the presence of pain, when evaluating the NFCS scale, it can be observed that 1 newborn presented between 0-2 scores; 5 had between 3-5 scores, and 1 had between 6-8 scores. It was observed that after music therapy there was a considerable reduction in the incidence of variables, showing the importance of music therapy in the NICU, since music contributed to the reduction of possible stresses and / or pain in the internal neonates.
