Effects of mindfulness-based stress reduction combined with music therapy on pain, anxiety, and sleep quality in patients with osteosarcoma

Abstract

Objectives:To evaluate the effects of mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) combined with music therapy (MT) on clinical symptoms in patients with osteosarcoma.Methods:Patients diagnosed with osteosarcoma were assessed for eligibility. A total of 101 patients were ultimately randomized into the intervention and control groups. Both groups received routine care. Eight sessions of MBSR and MT psychotherapy were conducted in the intervention group, while the control group received no psychological intervention. Patients were assessed regarding pain, anxiety, and sleep quality at two distinct stages: before and after the intervention.Results:There were no significant differences in sociodemographic and clinical parameters between the intervention and control groups at baseline. The intervention program significantly alleviated psychological and physiological complications in patients with osteosarcoma. Specifically, the study revealed that 8 weeks of the combined MBSR/MT intervention effectively reduced pain and anxiety scores and improved the quality of sleep in patients.Conclusion:MBSR combined with MT significantly alleviated clinical symptoms, and could be considered a new, effective psychotherapeutic intervention for patients with osteosarcoma.

Using Mindfulness to Reduce Anxiety and Depression of Patients With Fever Undergoing Screening in an Isolation Ward During the COVID-19 Outbreak

“…Recently, Lorca et al (2019) suggested that a single-session mindfulness practice using a meditation recording reduced both subjective and objective anxiety in patients undergoing a PET/ CT study. With the support of a previous study, mindfulness interventions can significantly improve participants' positive emotions (Keng et al, 2011), reduce the self-reported level of anxiety and depression (Hoge et al, 2013;Würtzen et al, 2013;Liu et al, 2019;Zhu et al, 2019;Buckner et al, 2020), and even adjust heart rate (Lorca et al, 2019). Our results are consistent with the conclusion that mindfulness interventions can adjust a patient's mood and may have clinical implications for people in quarantine to reduce psychological stress.…”

“…In the last few decades, mindfulness-related interventions have been applied extensively both in China and abroad, especially in clinical settings (Hoge et al, 2013;Würtzen et al, 2013;Liu et al, 2019;Buckner et al, 2020); however, they also affect the non-clinical population (Arch and Craske, 2006;Zhu et al, 2019). Recently, Lorca et al (2019) suggested that a single-session mindfulness practice using a meditation recording reduced both subjective and objective anxiety in patients undergoing a PET/ CT study.…”
