Summary

This phase III trial tests whether listening to music during a bone marrow biopsy or aspiration can lower anxiety. About 113 adults with blood cancers will be randomly assigned to either receive standard care or also listen to music during the procedure. Researchers will measure anxiety levels using a standard questionnaire.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Music therapy (listening to music)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, drug-free way to ease anxiety during a painful procedure.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-center trial. The effect may be modest or not apply to everyone. Music cannot replace medical care for pain or anxiety.
