About this study

Official title: Music Therapy for Distress During Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation: A Randomized Trial

RATIONALE: Music therapy may be effective in relieving pain and emotional distress in patients who are undergoing cancer therapy.

PURPOSE: Randomized trial to determine the effectiveness of music therapy to ease pain and emotional distress in patients with hematologic cancer who are undergoing high-dose therapy and stem cell transplantation.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Compare the effects of music therapy vs no music therapy on depression and anxiety in patients with hematologic malignancies undergoing high-dose therapy and autologous stem cell transplantation.
  • Compare the effects of these regimens on mood, mucositis pain, pain interference, need for analgesic medication, and length of hospital stay of these patients.
  • Compare the immediate effects of these regimens on mood in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a randomized study. Patients are stratified according to whole body or whole lymphatic irradiation (yes vs no) and diagnosis (non-Hodgkin's lymphoma vs Hodgkin's lymphoma vs myeloma/amyloidosis). Patients are randomized to one of two arms.

  • Arm I: Patients receive individualized music therapy over 20-30 minutes beginning on day 0 and continuing over 16 days for a maximum of 12 sessions during high-dose therapy and autologous stem cell transplantation.

Patients complete a Profile of Mood States (POMS) quality of life and pain questionnaire on days -2, 0, 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, and 16.

  • Arm II: Patients receive standard psychosocial support during high-dose therapy and autologous stem cell transplantation. Patients complete POMS and mucositis pain questionnaires as in arm I.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 80 patients (40 per arm) will be accrued for this study.
