City of Hope Medical Center113 enrolled

Overview

This phase III trial compares the effect of adding passive music when undergoing bone marrow biopsy/aspirate versus bone marrow biopsy/aspirate alone in reducing anxiety. Music therapy helps relieve pain or stress and promote well-being. Listening to music during a bone marrow biopsy/aspirate procedure may reduce anxiety during the procedure.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To determine whether music listening alleviates psychological distress such as anxiety in patients undergoing bone marrow aspiration and/or biopsy that do not require general anesthesia. SECONDARY OBJECTIVE: I. To determine if patients with lower to no anxiety during bone marrow aspiration and/or biopsy will also experience less pain. EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVE: I. To design and implement an evidence-based music intervention protocol that could be used during bone marrow aspiration and/or biopsy. OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 groups. GROUP I: Patients undergo standard of care bone marrow biopsy and/or aspiration. GROUP II: Patients listen to music while undergoing standard of care bone marrow biopsy and/or aspiration.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Changes in anxiety level

Measured by State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) based on the response to 20 anxiety state-related questions, each scaled between 1 and 4, from low to high anxiety

Time frame: Up to 4 months

Secondary Outcomes

Pain level

The visual analog scale ranging from 0 to 10 will be used to rate the pain level by subjects: 1-3 as mild, 4-6 as moderate and 7-10 as severe. The pain level will be compared between the music and non-music group by two-sample t tests. Univariate and multivariate analysis on pain level will be similar as that for anxiety.

Time frame: Up to 4 months
