Summary
This study looked at whether listening to relaxing Turkish music for 30 minutes could help cancer patients in palliative care feel less pain and anxiety. 32 patients took part, with half listening to music and the other half resting quietly. The researchers measured pain, anxiety, and vital signs before and after the session. The goal was to see if music could be a simple, drug-free way to improve comfort.
