A Study of Music Therapy for Anxiety in People With Cancer
Virtual AI-Assisted Music Therapy for Anxiety Symptoms in People With Advanced Cancer (VIRTUOSO)
The researchers are doing this study to compare two different music-based treatment approaches and see if one may work better to reduce anxiety. The researchers will also study whether these music-based treatment approaches help people feel socially connected and change how they cope with anxiety, and whether these changes are linked to lower anxiety levels. Both approaches use music-based activities to treat anxiety. One of the approaches uses an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered song creation platform to write songs with a music therapist. The other approach involves music listening exercises and music-based discussions with research staff, during which you will learn about music culture and history.

Experimental: AI-assisted collaborative songwriting (ARTIST)
ARTIST intervention is designed to reduce anxiety by facilitating social connection and cognitive processing of cancer-related experience. The active "ingredient" of our intervention is collaborative songwriting, during which music therapists work with participants to brainstorm themes, draft lyrics, create melodies and harmonies, and produce an original song with personal meaning. Eight weekly 60-minute sessions. Post-Session Feedback: Participants will complete a five-question post-session survey after each of the 8 sessions. |
Patients will complete outcome measures of anxiety, social-cognitive outcomes, and co-morbid symptoms at baseline, week 4, week 8, week 16, and week 26. |
|
Comparador Ativo: Time and attention matched-music listening (TAME)
TAME control will involve Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI)-trained research staff guiding participants through passive music listening exercises.Research staff will facilitate passive listening experiences of pre-selected songs, with each session focusing on a different genre. These music listening exercises will be purely receptive with no behavioral skill training or active music engagement. Research staff will prepare discussion points for each pre-selected song, focusing on academic topics (e.g., music theory, artist biography, historical context, genre characteristics), designed to minimize personal reflection or cognitive processing of cancer-related experiences. Eight weekly 60-minute sessions and all sessions will be delivered via Zoom. Post-Session Feedback: Participants will complete a five-question post-session survey after each of the 8 sessions. |
TAME control will involve Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI)-trained research staff guiding participants through passive music listening exercises. This control group is designed to match therapist attention and contact time of ARTIST, as well as control for music engagement unrelated to the active ingredient of ARTIST. Patients will complete outcome measures of anxiety, social-cognitive outcomes, and co-morbid symptoms at baseline, week 4, week 8, week 16, and week 26. |
