Impact of Music Therapy on Anxiety in Patients With Cancer Undergoing Simulation for Radiation Therapy

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.
