Study Overview
Brief Summary
The objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of employing music therapy in alleviating fatigue and medical laboratory values among patients with acute myeloid leukemia.
Detailed Description
The researchers will explain the study objectives and methods, obtain informed consent, and have participants sign the consent form before commencing the study. Participants are randomly assigned to Group A and Group B. Participants in Group A undergo 30 minutes of self-selected music playback every day in addition to receiving standard therapy, while participants in Group B only receive standard therapy. The entire study duration spans 21 days.

Arms & Interventions
Music Therapy
Participants received self-selected music app playback for 30 minutes every day and standard therapy. The entire study duration spans 21 days.
Intervention: Music Therapy (Other)
Standard Care
Participants only received standard care during the entire study duration span of 21 days.
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Change from baseline in fatigue on the Tang Fatigue Rating Scale (TFRS) and 11-point Numeric Rating Scale (NRS-11) at day 21.
Time Frame: Baseline and Day 21.
The TFRS and NRS-11 is validated, self-reported instrument assessing average fatigue intensify. The TFRS comprises a total of 37 items, encompassing 15 questions related to physiological aspects, 12 questions addressing psychosocial factors, and 10 questions focusing on daily living activities. The scoring system ranges from 1 to 10, with higher scores indicating a greater level of fatigue. NRS-11 scores range from 0 (no fatigue) to 10 (worst possible fatigue). Change = (Day 21 score - Baseline score).
Secondary Outcomes
- Change from baseline in neutrophil, hemoglobin, abumin at day 21.(Baseline and Day 21.)
