Adjunctive Resonance-Based Chinese Five-Element Music Intervention for Depressive Disorders and Anxiety Symptoms in Male Inpatients (RCFMI)
14 juni 2026 uppdaterad av: University of Malaya
Adjunctive Resonance-Based Chinese Five-Element Music Intervention for Depressive Disorders and Anxiety Symptoms in Male Inpatients: A Randomised Controlled Trial
This randomized controlled trial will evaluate the effectiveness of Resonance-Based Chinese Five-Element Music Intervention (RFEMI) as an adjunct to pharmacotherapy in male inpatients with depressive disorders.
Based on Traditional Chinese Medicine Five-Element tone theory and resonance-informed acoustic delivery, RFEMI will be compared with conventional music intervention plus pharmacotherapy and pharmacotherapy alone over a four-week intervention period.
The study will assess changes in depressive and anxiety symptoms, TCM syndrome characteristics, neuroendocrine biomarkers, cerebral oxygenation, and autonomic nervous system regulation.

Detaljerad beskrivning
Depressive disorders are among the most prevalent psychiatric conditions worldwide and are frequently accompanied by anxiety symptoms, chronic stress, and disturbances in autonomic nervous system regulation. Although pharmacotherapy remains a standard treatment, interest has increased in complementary non-pharmacological interventions that may enhance clinical outcomes and improve patient well-being.
Resonance-Based Chinese Five-Element Music Intervention (RFEMI) is a structured receptive music intervention developed from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Five-Element tone theory and resonance-informed acoustic principles. The intervention will aim to provide individualized auditory stimulation through carefully selected musical materials aligned with TCM syndrome differentiation.
Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: (1) pharmacotherapy only, (2) conventional music intervention combined with pharmacotherapy, or (3) RFEMI combined with pharmacotherapy. The intervention period will last four weeks. All participants will continue receiving routine psychiatric care and prescribed antidepressant medications throughout the study period.
The study will investigate whether RFEMI, when used as an adjunctive intervention, can influence psychological symptoms, TCM syndrome manifestations, neuroendocrine biomarkers, cerebral oxygenation, and autonomic nervous system activity in hospitalized patients with depressive disorders.
