This randomized controlled study aims to evaluate the effects of music therapy administered during radiotherapy sessions on pain, stress, and anxiety levels in cancer patients. The intervention involves playing Musicure, a therapeutic music track, for 30 minutes via speakers during radiotherapy. The study includes two groups: an intervention group receiving music therapy and a control group receiving standard care without music.
Participants' pain levels were assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), while anxiety and stress levels were measured using the Face Anxıety Subscale ( FAS).
A total of 120 adult cancer patients undergoing outpatient radiotherapy at Tınaztepe Unıversty were included. The study was conducted under the supervision of Dr. Öğr. Üyesi [Duygu AKBAŞ UYSAL (Principal Investigator) and co-researchers Prof.Dr Fsun ŞENUZUN AYKAR, Prof.Dr Zümra ARICAK ALICIKUŞ The research complies with ethical standards and has received approval from [insert name of ethics committee].
This study investigates a low-cost, non-pharmacological intervention that has the potential to improve symptom management and quality of life in cancer patients.](streamdown:incomplete-link)
