“…Patients were allowed to listen to music at anytime over the course of treatment with the exception of their radiation sessions In addition to variability in length of intervention sessions, there is also variability in number of intervention sessions. Eight studies tested interventions that were delivered on one occasion 19,21,22,[24][25][26]29,30 Burns et al 28 Three of the interventions delivered live music. 18,20,25 Burns et al 28 did not specify how the music was delivered and the remaining 9 studies delivered music through headphones or earphones.…”

The Impact of Music Interventions on Anxiety for Adult Cancer Patients

The meta-analytic results failed to demonstrate a positive effect on anxiety among adult cancer patients in treatment but may in part be attributed to the small sample size. These findings are in contrast to a prior meta-analysis that analyzed all studies regardless of methodological rigor. More research is needed to ascertain the most optimal intervention methodology and which cancer populations or treatment modalities are appropriate for such an intervention.

“…Ferrer (92) compared live music to a no treatment control condition among cancer patients receiving chemotherapy and reported significantly less fatigue in the music group. Burns et al (93) compared music with standard care in a sample of hospitalized patients receiving intensive chemotherapy and found no significant difference in fatigue between groups.…”

Purpose To synthesize evidence regarding mind-body interventions that have shown efficacy in treating two or more symptoms in the pain-fatigue-sleep disturbance cancer symptom cluster. Design A literature search was conducted using CINAHL, Medline, and PsychInfo databases through March 2009. Methods Studies were categorized based on the type of mind-body intervention (relaxation, imagery / hypnosis, cognitive-behavioral therapy / coping skills training [CBT/CST], meditation, music, and virtual reality), and a preliminary review was conducted with respect to efficacy for pain, fatigue, and sleep disturbance. Mind-body interventions were selected for review if there was evidence of efficacy for at least two of the three symptoms. Forty-three studies, addressing five types of mind-body interventions met criteria and are summarized in this review. Findings Imagery / hypnosis and CBT / CST interventions have produced improvement in all three cancer-related symptoms individually: pain, fatigue, and sleep disturbance. Relaxation has resulted in improvements in pain and sleep disturbance. Meditation interventions have demonstrated beneficial effects on fatigue and sleep disturbance. Music interventions have demonstrated efficacy for pain and fatigue. No trials were found that tested the mind-body interventions specifically for the pain-fatigue-sleep disturbance symptom cluster. Conclusions Efficacy studies are needed to test the impact of relaxation, imagery / hypnosis, CBT / CST, meditation and music interventions in persons with cancer experiencing concurrent pain, fatigue, and sleep disturbance. These mind-body interventions could help patients manage all symptoms in the cluster with a single treatment strategy.

“…The trials of music in reducing stress in cancer have not yielded consistent results; one study in women with metastatic breast cancer showed no significant differences in the music therapy led by a therapist and the usual care groups [173]. However, one study of music imagery intervention has suggested reduction of anxiety in adults undergoing chemotherapy, particularly those with lower initial stress levels [174]. …”

A cancer diagnosis elicits strong psychophysiological reactions that characterize stress. Stress is experienced by all patients but is usually not discussed during patient-healthcare professional interaction; thus underdiagnosed, very few are referred to support services. The prevalence of CAM use in patients with history of cancer is growing. The purpose of the paper is to review the aspects of cancer-related stress and interventions of commonly used complementary and alternative techniques/products for amelioration of cancer-related stress. Feasibility of intervention of several CAM techniques and products commonly used by cancer patients and survivors has been established in some cancer populations. Efficacy of some CAM techniques and products in reducing stress has been documented as well as stress-related symptoms in patients with cancer such as mindfulness-based stress reduction, yoga, Tai Chi Chuan, acupuncture, energy-based techniques, and physical activity. Much of the research limitations include small study samples and variety of intervention length and content. Efficacy and safety of many CAM techniques and some herbs and vitamin B and D supplements need to be confirmed in further studies using scientific methodology. Several complementary and alternative medicine therapies could be integrated into standard cancer care to ameliorate cancer-related stress.

Music imagery for adults with acute leukemia in protective environments: a feasibility study

Abstract: Music imagery is feasible for adults with acute leukemia in protected environments. Patients with lower initial distress may benefit from a music imagery program in terms of reduced anxiety at discharge.
