Brief Title: Guided Imagery & Music in Cancer
Official Title: Guided Imagery & Music in Active Treatment for Gynecologic or Breast Cancer: An RCT Pilot
Study ID: NCT03936075
Brief Summary: This is an RCT pilot study to explore the potential effects of the Guided Imagery \& Music method for women with breast or gynecologic cancer, during active treatment. The study explores the potential impact in quality of life parameters such as mood, fatigue, and hope.
Detailed Description: Guided Imagery and Music is a music-assisted psychotherapy method which has been used as a complementary, supportive psychosocial therapy in cancer care. However, its effects have never been explored during the period of active chemotherapy or radiotherapy treatment in various cancer populations, and especially gynecologic and breast cancer. This pilot study is an effort to explore the feasibility of the method to increase quality of life in this population by possibly reducing side-effects of treatment such as fatigue, improving mood, and building resilience as expressed through levels of hope.
