ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial, titled "Music Against Psychological Pain in Suicide," is exploring whether music therapy can help reduce feelings of psychological pain in patients who are experiencing suicidal thoughts or have attempted suicide. The study will compare two groups: one that receives standard medical care along with music therapy, and another that only receives standard care. The goal is to see if adding music therapy makes a positive difference in the emotional well-being of these patients.

To participate in this trial, patients need to be between the ages of 65 and 74 and must have current suicidal thoughts or have recently attempted suicide. They should be admitted to a psychiatric hospital voluntarily and able to read and write in French. If eligible, participants can expect to stay in the hospital for about 48 to 60 hours while they receive care, including music therapy sessions. It’s important to note that this study is actively looking for participants, and those who join will be contributing to valuable research that could improve treatment for others in similar situations.
