Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Anxiety and Distress
• Interventions: Other: music therapy

• Registration Number: NCT02150395
• Lead Sponsor: Beth Israel Medical Center

Brief Summary

This study looks at the effects of a protocolized music therapy intervention on state anxiety for patients with cancer undergoing simulation for radiation therapy. Simulation, which is an imaging and diagnostic procedure, has been identified as producing significantly high levels of anxiety in many cancer patients.
