“…Fatigue is one of the most commonly experienced cancer symptoms, affecting 70-100% of patients with cancer [18]. Several meta-analyses and randomized trials have shown positive effects of music therapy on fatigue [19][20][21]. A recent study showed that home-based music therapy even may have lasting effects on fatigue [22].…”

Aim: Cancer remains a disease with a significant impact on morbidity and mortality but also on quality of life. This prospective randomized pilot study investigated the effects of a sound intervention on physical and emotional well-being in outpatients with cancer. Methods: Two self-applied sound interventions were used for this purpose, either active “music playing” with a body monochord or passive sound intervention with headphones to listen to a given music compilation. Interventions were carried out over a period of 4 weeks for at least 15 min in the evening before bedtime. The following self-assessment questionnaires were completed both at baseline and after 4 weeks to evaluate the response: the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Questionnaire (QLQ-C30), Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for pain and fatigue, and the Fear of Progression (FoP) questionnaire. Primary endpoint of this exploratory trial was to describe the rate of patients with improvement in at least one dimension without worsening of any other. Results: 73 patients (29 male, 44 female) were included in the study and randomized to either active (n = 34, 47%) or passive sound intervention (n = 39, 53%). Median age was 52.0 years (range 21–79). Fourteen patients (19%) stated that they were musically active. The sound intervention was carried out on a median of 26 days (range 5–28). A higher percentage of patients in the passive group reached the primary endpoint: n = 15 (39%) versus n = 9 (27%). Response differences in favour of the passive group were seen with the VAS fatigue and with QLQ-30 questionnaires. Overall, an improvement in QLQ-30 questionnaire was seen in 12 patients (31%) in the passive group versus 3 patients (9%). Moreover, sound intervention significantly improved social functioning and shortness of breath in the passive group according to QLQ-C30. Significant improvements were also noticed in the passive group in terms of affective reactions as a domain of the FoP questionnaire. No effects on pain or sleep quality could be observed. Conclusion: A 4-week self-administered sound intervention was feasible in outpatients suffering from cancer. Using a panel of 5 questionnaires, passive sound interventions appeared to be more likely to positively influence patient-reported outcomes. In particular, a positive impact was documented in social functioning and fatigue.

“…Sensory art therapy encompasses a variety of therapies that use art media to stimulate the senses. 46 Music therapy is easy to apply and effective in relieving CRF in patients with hematological malignancies 47 and gastrointestinal cancers 48 during treatment and rehabilitation. 49 It stimulates the brain's functional processes, providing endorphin, dopamine, and serotonin stimulation, and activating neural pathways to reduce fatigue severity.…”

“…Introducing music features into the study of music therapy, proposed an SVM-based model of emotional perception of music, and analysed the effects of heart rate, electrical skin conductivity, respiratory rate, blood pressure, and body temperature on the perception of music from the perspective of the physiological effects of music [ 19 ]. In the literature of emotion model research based on brain wave music, the emotional information contained in brain wave signals is explained in the form of music [ 20 ].…”

In order to evaluate the therapeutic effect of music therapy on patients with depression, this paper proposes a CNN-based noise detection method with the combination of HHT and FastICA for noise removal, with good data support from the DBN model. DBN-based feature extraction and classification are completed. As the training process of DBN itself requires a large number of training samples, there are also disadvantages such as slow convergence speed and easy to fall into local minima, which lead to a large amount of effort and time, and the learning efficiency is relatively low. A DBN optimization algorithm based on artificial neural network was proposed to evaluate the efficacy of music therapy. First of all, through the comparison of music therapy experimental group and control group, to verify that music therapy is effective for the treatment of depressed patients. Secondly, we propose to optimize the selection of features based on the frequency band energy ratio and the sliding average sample entropy, respectively, and then to classify the EEG of depressed patients under different music perceptions by training the DBN model and continuously adjusting the parameters, combined with the surtax classifier, and the classification accuracy is high. In particular, it can detect the different effects of different music styles, which is of great significance for the selection of appropriate music for the treatment of depressed patients.
