About this study

Official title: Effects of Music Therapy in Controlling Symptoms in Patients With Acute Myeloblastic Leukemia and Undergoing Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation: a Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to test passive music therapy in patients receiving induction chemotherapy for an acute myeloblastic leukemia or undergoing an hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • Can music therapy control physical and psychological symptoms and improve the mood and quality of life of these patients?
Read more

Participants will be randomly assigned to the control and experimental group. Patients included in both groups will complete weekly mood and quality of life questionnaires. Those included in the experimental group will also complete daily symptom burden questionnaires before and after listening to a music therapy session.

Researchers will confirm if the experimental group improves their symptoms after the music therapy session and will compare both groups to see if there are differences in mood and quality of life.

  • Passive music therapyBehavioural

    Patients included in the experimental group receive a 25 min passive music therapy session on a daily basis, which changes depending on their emotion.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in physical and psychological symptom burden

    Edmonton Symptom Assessment System (ESAS) global score (0 to 110 points, higher scores mean higher symptom burden)

    Measured: The ESAS global score is measured before and after the daily music therapy session (from date of randomization until the date of discharge, up to 8 weeks)

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Anxiety and depression assessed by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) score

    HADS score (0 to 42 points, higher scores mean higher anxiety/depression)

    Measured: Once a week (from date of randomization until the date of discharge, up to 8 weeks)

  2. Quality of life assessed by the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - General (FACT-G) score

    FACT-G score (0 to 108 points, higher scores mean better quality of life)

    Measured: Once a week (from date of randomization until the date of discharge, up to 8 weeks)

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in physical and psychological symptom burden (time frame: The ESAS global score is measured before and after the daily music therapy session (from date of randomization until the date of discharge, up to 8 weeks)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05696457, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
