Evaluation of Music on the Level of Anxiety Felt During External Radiotherapy Sessions (MUSIC-RT)

April 3, 2024 updated by: Center Eugene Marquis

Prospective and Monocentric Pilot Study of the Evaluation of the Music Delivered by the Music-Care Device on the Level of Anxiety Felt During External Radiotherapy Sessions

This is a prospective study with a historical comparator. Each of the prospective study endpoints will be compared to data collected retrospectively in patients treated with radiation therapy prior to the implementation of the MUSIC-CARE device.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

The retrospective phase (historical comparator) includes all patients with an initial HADS score > 7 who were treated with radiotherapy during 6 months preceding the start of the prospective study. The prospective phase involves all patients with an initial HADS score > 7 who will be treated with radiotherapy and who will benefit from music sessions (MUSIC-CARE). The study will be conducted over a fixed period of 12 months (6 months recruitment and 6 months follow-up) from the first patient receiving music sessions. Anxiety will be assessed by HADS self-questionnaires, before radiotherapy, at the end of the first week and at the end of radiotherapy. These evaluation parameters will therefore be compared to the 6-month period prior to the start of the study (retrospective phase).

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

All patients, all cancers combined, with an initial HADS score > 7 and initiating treatment in the radiotherapy department are concerned by this study.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients over 18 years of age
  • Patients undergoing radiotherapy for curative treatment
  • Patients with at least 15 sessions of radiotherapy
  • Patients with an anxiety score > 7 on the total A of the HADS scale at the time of medical consultation

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Minor patients
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding patients
  • Patients with major hearing loss
  • Patients with psychotic disorders
  • Patients who do not understand or read the French language
  • Patients under guardianship or deprived of liberty
  • Patients requiring radiotherapy with respiratory servo-control (the MUSIC-CARE cannot be used due to technical constraints)

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Prospective phase
This prospective phase involves all patients with an initial HADS score > 7 and initiating treatment in the radiotherapy department. The treatment sessions will be performed with music, using the MUSIC-CARE device. In the event of technical problems, unavailability of equipment, or the patient's wishes, some radiotherapy sessions may be conducted without music. Nevertheless, a minimum of one weekly session with music is required for the analysis of the study.
Device: MUSIC-CARE
This device allows the listening of music using different sequences of instrumental music created specifically, and using principles based on hypno-analgesia, that is to say the association of hypnotic techniques and approaches to help or analgesic, medicated or not. It consists of a tablet application containing instrumental music pieces, specially created and recorded for Music-Care. Each piece is at least 20 minutes long. The music can be played through headphones or speakers.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
The main objective of the study is to evaluate the impact of the MUSIC-CARE device on the level of anxiety perceived by patients during radiotherapy.
Time Frame: The analysis will take place after the last visit (usual 6-month visit) of the last included patient, i.e. 6 months after the end of treatment of the last patient, and within a maximum of one year after this visit.
Perceived anxiety will be measured by the anxiety score (total A), assessed with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). To screen for anxiety symptomatology, the following interpretation is: Total A score at 7 or less: no symptomatology, Total A score of 8 to 10: questionable symptomatology, and Total A score equal to 11 and above: definite symptomatology. Anxiety will be assessed at the medical consultation, after 5 sessions and at the end of the treatment. The patients' score after 5 sessions will be used as the primary endpoint to evaluate the impact of the to evaluate the impact of the device.
The analysis will take place after the last visit (usual 6-month visit) of the last included patient, i.e. 6 months after the end of treatment of the last patient, and within a maximum of one year after this visit.
