Book excerpt: RESEARCH QUESTION OF THE HTA REPORT: The aims of this investigation are to - assess the benefit of music therapy (MT) as a therapy accompanying oncological standard therapy by comparing it to no accompanying therapy or other accompanying therapies in adult cancer patients with regard to patient-relevant outcomes, - determine the costs arising from accompanying MT in comparison with a different or no accompanying therapy in adult cancer patients (intervention costs), - assess the cost effectiveness of MT accompanying standard therapy in comparison with no accompanying therapy or other accompanying therapies in adult cancer patients as well as - review ethical, social, legal, and organizational aspects associated with the intervention. CONCLUSION OF THE HTA REPORT: MT as an accompanying therapy in oncology has already been established in the German healthcare system, particularly in the (acute and palliative) inpatient and rehabilitation settings, through service reimbursement as well as its mentions in national guidelines. The present HTA reveals indications and hints of a short-term benefit of MT in comparison with standard care with regard to fatigue, mood swings, anxiety, anxiety & depression, stress/tension, and health-related quality of life as well as, over the course of several sessions, with regard to cancer-related adverse events, fatigue, and mood swings. In comparison with other accompanying therapies (music medicine, mindfulness-based stress reduction), a hint of greater short-term benefit of MT was found with regard to fatigue and subjective well-being. Notably, the available evidence shows a positive effect particularly for comparatively short-term psychological outcomes and, in general, primarily for non-biological outcomes - soon after the intervention. For most biological (clinical) outcomes as well as for persistent psychological conditions such as depression, there is generally a lack of evidence in favour of MT. However, these short-term effects are to be considered in light of the typically precarious, in some cases life-threatening, situation of patients. Furthermore, MT is a non-invasive intervention associated with few ethical concerns and is impossible to conduct without considerable patient motivation and cooperation. The results on the benefit of MT are transferable to Germany if a consistent professional concept and standardized training and/or certification can be assumed to be in place, which is, however, not entirely the case in view of the current lack of regulation. However, a uniform consensus has been reached on the occupational profile as well as (voluntary) certification. Due to differences in reimbursement and local availability, access to MT (in general and in oncology) is not uniformly regulated among inpatient care, the rehabilitation sector, and outpatient care. Due to a lack of data, some questions cannot be answered at this time: No studies were found on the outcomes of coping or activities of daily living, and no study investigating MT as a group intervention was found. Data are insufficient for performing a comparative analysis of the benefit of MT in different cancer entities or for a comparison of curative versus palliative therapy. In the direct comparison with alternative accompanying therapies, MT in the form defined herein was studied in only 3 out of 10 studies, and no studies investigated it in comparison with "sham treatment". No data are available on cost-effectiveness, and estimating the intervention costs is hindered by a lack of data on average treatment duration and frequency of sessions. Only 1 out of the 10 studies was conducted in an outpatient setting. Two ongoing studies on MT from Israel and Germany were found, and their design might potentially produce insights regarding longer-term effects and coping (outcome of "resilience").
Book Synopsis In Cancer Patients Does Music Therapy Reduce Anxiety Prior and During Receiving Treatment (chemotherapy Radiation and Surgery)? by : Sherri Eaker
Download or read book In Cancer Patients Does Music Therapy Reduce Anxiety Prior and During Receiving Treatment (chemotherapy Radiation and Surgery)? written by Sherri Eaker and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cancer patients have multiple factors that contribute to anxiety; for instance, chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery. Analysis from multiple studies indicates music therapy is a beneficial intervention in reducing anxiety induced from cancer treatments. Music has no side effects; it is economical, easy, and proven effectiveness in relieving anxiety to cancer patients receiving treatments. Music was offered to cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, radiation, port placement, mastectomy, and wound dressing changes. Patients were allowed to listen to music of their choice, on a MP3 that was provided, for 20-30 minutes prior to treatment and some patients were offered to listen to music during treatment as well. Results showed that music therapy had significantly reduced anxiety in cancer patients.
Book Synopsis Music Therapy in Palliative Care by : David Aldridge
Download or read book Music Therapy in Palliative Care written by David Aldridge and published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers. This book was released on 1999 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within the last decade music therapists have developed their work with people who have life-threatening illnesses and with those who are dying. This book presents some of that work from music therapists working in different approaches, in different countries, showing how valuable the inclusion of music therapy in palliative care has already proved to be. It is important for the dying, or those with terminal illness, that approaches are used which integrate the physical, psychological, social and spiritual dimensions of their being. The contributors to this book emphasize the importance of working not only with the patient but with the ward situation, friends and family members. By offering patients the chance to be creative they become something other than patients - they become expressive beings, and there is an intimacy in music therapy that is important for those who are suffering. Many of the contributors write in their own personal voice, providing a particular insight which will be valuable not only to other music therapists seeking to enrich their own ways of working, but to all those involved in caring for the sick and the dying. Contributors describe their work with both children and adults living with HIV/AIDS, cancer and other chronic degenerative diseases.

Book Synopsis The Emperor of All Maladies by : Siddhartha Mukherjee
Download or read book The Emperor of All Maladies written by Siddhartha Mukherjee and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2011-08-09 with total page 624 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and a documentary from Ken Burns on PBS, this New York Times bestseller is “an extraordinary achievement” (The New Yorker)—a magnificent, profoundly humane “biography” of cancer—from its first documented appearances thousands of years ago through the epic battles in the twentieth century to cure, control, and conquer it to a radical new understanding of its essence. Physician, researcher, and award-winning science writer, Siddhartha Mukherjee examines cancer with a cellular biologist’s precision, a historian’s perspective, and a biographer’s passion. The result is an astonishingly lucid and eloquent chronicle of a disease humans have lived with—and perished from—for more than five thousand years. The story of cancer is a story of human ingenuity, resilience, and perseverance, but also of hubris, paternalism, and misperception. Mukherjee recounts centuries of discoveries, setbacks, victories, and deaths, told through the eyes of his predecessors and peers, training their wits against an infinitely resourceful adversary that, just three decades ago, was thought to be easily vanquished in an all-out “war against cancer.” The book reads like a literary thriller with cancer as the protagonist. Riveting, urgent, and surprising, The Emperor of All Maladies provides a fascinating glimpse into the future of cancer treatments. It is an illuminating book that provides hope and clarity to those seeking to demystify cancer.
