Limitations, implications for clinical practice, and suggestions for future research are provided. A reduction in fatigue may temporarily assist a more active lifestyle that can facilitate recovery and quality of life. Although not significant, experimental participants tended to have higher mean energy scores than control participants.Ĭonclusions: Music therapy can immediately decrease levels of fatigue for patients undergoing bone marrow transplants.
Results: There was a significant between-group difference, with experimental participants having less fatigue than control participants. Patients in the experimental group received music therapy prior to completing the Lee Fatigue Scale (Lee, Hicks, & Nino-Murcia, 1991) while patients in the wait-list control condition received music therapy services after they completed the instrument. Methods: Patients on a bone marrow transplant unit were randomly assigned to two groups.
PRACTICA MUSICA ACTIVITY REPORT TRIAL
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the immediate effects of music therapy on fatigue in patients recovering from a bone marrow transplant during a single-session randomized and wait-list controlled trial utilizing an established psychometric instrument. Due to the invasiveness of this procedure, physiological and psychological symptoms and side effects can be intense and often result in extreme fatigue. While many patients complete chemotherapy and radiation as part of cancer treatment, some patients also undergo a bone marrow transplant.
