About this study

Official title: The Effect of Music Therapy on Pediatric Patients Admitted to the Hospital for Sickle Cell or Pain Crisis

This study will assess whether participants who receive music therapy during inpatient care report a decrease in pain and whether music therapy influences factors such as family satisfaction.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to determine if music therapy services can serve as a viable, necessary, and beneficial aspect of inpatient pain management, distraction, and coping for pediatric patients in the acute care hospital setting. The investigator will note the effect of music therapy services in conjunction with pain scores reported by the participant and an increase in self and family reported coping skills during hospitalization.

Participants will be referred by providers from pain management service, oncology/hematology service, or the gastrointestinal (GI) service for functional and abdominal pain. Participants who meet the criteria for inclusion will be selected. The study will be explained to parents and a consent form will be left for the family to review and sign at their convenience. Participants will provide a pain scale level and vitals before completing the music therapy intervention. Once the music therapy intervention is completed, the pain scale and vitals will be repeated.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. How does music therapy affect perceived pain in hospitalized pediatric patients?

    Do pediatric patients who receive music therapy report a decrease in pain after receiving a music therapy intervention as measured by the Wong Baker Faces Scale? The Wong Baker Faces Scale uses six different faces to assist child patients in rating their pain on a scale of '0' for no pain to '10' for severe to extreme pain.

    Measured: 30 minutes

  2. How does music therapy influence factors such as family satisfaction and length of stay at the time of discharge?

    Will music therapy result in patient and/or family satisfaction as measured by a survey administered immediately after the intervention?

    Measured: 30 minutes
