Music Intervention Can Improve Emotion in Cancer Patients during Disease Progression Lei Jia Jianping Chen Rainbow Th Ho Jin Yu Li Guoli Li<p>Music has long been regarded to aid health and loss-adaptation, but effect of music intervention on&nbsp; cancer patients is not well-understood. The aims of this study are to summarize and describe the role of music before and after diagnosis. This review examines music intervention studies with randomized designs for patients with cancer published between 1991 and 2015 from three English- language&nbsp; databases and Chinese-language&nbsp; databases. Ten&nbsp; studies&nbsp; that&nbsp; met&nbsp; specific&nbsp; inclusion criteria were reviewed. Our review indicates that music intervention may have beneficial effects on emotion (anxiety/depression) in patients with cancer. More research is needed to ascertain the most optimal&nbsp; intervention&nbsp; methodology on which&nbsp; cancer&nbsp; populations&nbsp; or&nbsp; which&nbsp; treatment&nbsp; modalities are appropriate for such an intervention.</p> Archives of Depression and Anxiety - Peertechz Publications 2016-03-28 Review Article https://doi.org/10.17352/2455-5460.000007 en Copyright © Lei Jia et al.
