Objective: Evaluating the effectiveness of a musical intervention in reducing anxiety and vital parameters in people suffering from head and neck cancer. Method: A randomized controlled clinical trial, performed in a head and neck outpatient clinic with 40 participants, subdivided into two groups (intervention and control). The classical music "Spring" from The Four Seasons by Vivaldi was used as an intervention. The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) was used as the data collection instrument, along with an inventory of socio-demographic and clinical data. Student's t-test was used to verify intragroup and intergroup statistical significance. Results: Participants presented a statistically significant reduction in levels of perceived anxiety (t = 12.68; p<0.001), as well as blood pressure levels (t = 4.56; p<0.001); pulse (t = 6.15; p<0.001) and respiratory rate (t = 5.10; p<0.001). Conclusion: Music has proven to be an effective non-pharmacological therapeutic resource in managing anxiety in an outpatient setting for people with cancer, as well as in reducing blood pressure, pulse and respiratory rate.

Abstract: Prior to chemotherapy, patients with high state anxiety must be sorted from all patients as they are more responsive to interventions. Oncology nurses can offer music and verbal relaxation as adjuvant interventions to reduce chemotherapy-induced anxiety and enhance the quality of care.
