Music as medicine: new study tests tunes to tame chemo side effects

This study explores whether music therapy can reduce anxiety, fatigue, and other symptoms in women with breast cancer who are receiving chemotherapy. Twenty-four participants will take part in weekly group music sessions and use personalized playlists at home, alternating periods with and without therapy to see how each woman responds. The goal is to see if this approach is practical and helpful, paving the way for larger studies on personalized music-based care.
