The Use of Music Therapy during the Treatment of Cancer Patients: A Collection of Evidence

Abstract: Background:Music therapy is one of the oldest forms of creative art therapy and has been shown to have effects in different clinical and therapeutic settings, such as schizophrenia, pain, cardiovascular parameters, and dementia. This article provides an overview of some of the recent findings in this field and also reports two single case vignettes that offer insight into day-to-day applications of clinical music therapy.Material and Methods:For the collection of clinical studies of music therapy in oncology, … Show more

“…Previous reviews and meta-analyses of music interventions in oncology have shown positive effects on anxiety, depression, fatigue, and pain as well as physiological parameters (heart rate, respiration rate, and blood pressure) in cancer patients (Boyde et al, 2012;Zhang et al, 2012;Archie et al, 2013;Nightingale et al, 2013;Tsai et al, 2014;Bradt et al, 2016;Bro et al, 2018;Stützlinger et al, 2018;Gramaglia et al, 2019). However, the validity of these reviews was often restricted with regard to the inclusion or exclusion of certain patient populations, outcomes or interventions, which impeded a general conclusion about the quantitative effect of music therapy in adult cancer patients.…”

“…However, the validity of these reviews was often restricted with regard to the inclusion or exclusion of certain patient populations, outcomes or interventions, which impeded a general conclusion about the quantitative effect of music therapy in adult cancer patients. For instance, one review was limited to evidence available in Chinese (Zhang et al, 2012), while other meta-analyses included studies with underage cancer patients (Boyde et al, 2012;Bradt et al, 2016), which from a clinical point of view requires a considerably distinct therapeutic approach. Another recent metaanalysis (Bro et al, 2018) included only cancer patients who underwent curative treatment while studies investigating patients in other treatment phases (e.g., during diagnoses, rehabilitation, or palliative care) were excluded.…”

“…Previous reviews of music, given at different time points of cancer treatment, have shown that both somatic and psychological symptoms are positively affected by music. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] However, these reviews applied different inclusion criteria for studies included. For example, the first and recently updated Cochrane meta-analysis included both randomized and quasirandomized studies.…”

“…6 However, more importantly, these reviews did not consider the qualities of the music, the patient's musical background, or musical preferences as part of the evaluation of the effects of the music intervention. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] For example, it remains to be investigated how key elements of musical structure such as tempo, rhythm, pitch, frequency spectrum and duration, or type of music influence the efficacy of the music provided.…”

“…For one can, in doing this, satisfy oneself by the hope that by this means one will recover perfect health, which is the foundation of all the other goods that one can have in this life. (Shapiro 2007, 92;our italics) Descartes' suggestions that Princess Elisabeth treat her depressive states by diverting her mind to pleasant activities are still valuable insights for today's range of therapies offered to cancer patients, such as music therapy (Boyde et al 2012).…”
