Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The primary objective of this study is to examine the effects of a music therapy protocol on improving anxiety, symptom distress, and relaxation among cancer patients who are going through MRI scanning. Physiological data, such as pulse rates and respiration rates will be collected. Furthermore, data about scanning efficiency will be collected to assess if scanning efficiency is affected by the protocol implementation. The secondary study objective is to assess whether or not there is a relationship between patient attention to music during the intervention process and the changes in anxiety, symptom distress, and relaxation.
