ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is investigating how music therapy can help reduce nausea, vomiting, and anxiety in children who are receiving treatment for cancer, specifically those taking a medication called cisplatin. The study will take place at the Dokuz Eylul University Children's Hospital from December 2023 to December 2024. Music therapy is not currently offered at this hospital, so this research aims to explore its potential benefits for young patients.

To participate in this study, children must be between the ages of 7 and 18, be diagnosed with cancer, and be receiving cisplatin treatment. They should not have any significant hearing problems or mental health diagnoses that would affect their ability to participate. The study is open to all children who volunteer to take part. If a child is selected, they will have the opportunity to engage in music therapy sessions, which may help them feel better during their treatment. It’s important to note that children who are very ill and do not wish to participate will not be included in the study.
