NCT ID NCT07483034
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing whether listening to calming classical music twice a day can help women with breast cancer feel less anxious and depressed during surgery and chemotherapy. Researchers will also check if music affects certain substances in the blood linked to stress and nerve health. Ninety women will be randomly assigned to either a music-listening group or a control group.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
receptive music therapy (listening to classical instrumental music)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, drug-free way to ease anxiety and depression and improve quality of life for women with breast cancer during surgery and chemotherapy.
What could go wrong
This is an early study with only 90 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The music selection is chosen by the researcher, not the patient, which may limit its effectiveness.
