Effectiveness of music intervention in ameliorating cancer patients’ anxiety, depression, pain, and fatigue: a meta-analysis. Cancer Nurs 2014; 37:E35–E50.
Oct 12, 2021 · Music interventions may increase hope in adults with cancer, with a reported average increase of 3.19 units (95% CI 0.12 to 6.25) on the Herth Hope Index (range 12 to 48; higher scores reflect greater hope), but this finding was based on only two studies (N = 53 participants; very low-certainty evidence). Physical outcomes We found a moderate ...
Music-based interventions on cancer-related mood and distress. Two systematic reviews concluded that music-based interventions together with usual or standard care could be more effective than controls in reducing cancer-related distress [49, 56]. However, findings on patients’ mood varied across studies [49, 56].
Jan 5, 2012 · The use of music therapy in the integrative treatment of cancer patients is a therapeutic option whose salutogenetic potential is shown in many case studies such as those presented here. Study results, however, did not draw a conclusive picture of the overall effect of music therapy. In addition to further clinical trials, the evidence mosaic ...
May 30, 2013 · In the future, music-based interventions may prove to become valuable tools in the “relief of suffering” of cancer patients. Specifically, music may help alleviate pain, anxiety, and mood disturbance, all of which commonly occur in cancer, and all of which may be associated with impaired QOL.
