About this study

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.

30 minutes of self-selected music playback every day.

Primary outcomes

  1. Fatigue Score on the Tang Fatigue Rating Scale (TFRS) .

    Time frame: Day 21.

    The TFRS is a validated, self-reported instrument assessing average fatigue intensity. It comprises a total of 37 items, with each item rated on a scale of 1 to 10. The total score is calculated by summing all 37 items, resulting in a range of 37 to 370. Higher scores indicate a greater level of fatigue intensity.

  2. 11-point Numeric Rating Scale (NRS-11).

    Time frame: Day 21.

    The NRS-11 is validated, self-reported instrument assessing average fatigue intensity. NRS-11 scores range from 0 (no fatigue) to 10 (worst possible fatigue).

Secondary outcomes

  1. Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) at Day 21.

    Time frame: Day 21.

    Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) was assessed through blood samples collected on the 21st day.

  2. Hemoglobin Level at Day 21.

    Time frame: Day 21.

    Hemoglobin levels were assessed through blood samples collected on the 21st day.

  3. Albumin Level at Day 21.

    Time frame: Day 21.

    Albumin levels were assessed through blood samples collected on the 21st day.
