The goal of this observational study is to investigate the long-term adjunctive effects of Traditional Chinese Five-Tone Therapy (Yu Tone) in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The main question it aims to answer is: Does Yu-tone music therapy improve psychological well-being and quality of life in SLE patients when used as a complementary intervention alongside standard pharmacotherapy? Participants already receiving Yu-tone music therapy as part of their integrative care for SLE will complete validated online questionnaires assessing psychological distress (e.g., anxiety, depression), disease-related quality of life, and medication adherence monthly for 2 years.
