Brief Title: The Effect of Guided Imagery and Music Therapy on Post-Operative Recovery After Gynecological Oncology Surgery
Official Title: The Effect of Guided Imagery and Music Therapy on Post-Operative Recovery After Gynecological Oncology Surgery
Study ID: NCT01284075
Brief Summary: This pilot study will be a prospective, randomized trial which will take place at the University of Minnesota Medical Center (UMMC). Eligible patients will be identified at the time of their first clinic visit. If selected to be involved in the study, the patients will be randomized to one of three different groups: a Guided Imagery and Music therapy group (GIMT) or one of two control groups.
Detailed Description: The GIMT group will undergo a standardized regimen of peri-operative guided imagery and music therapy guided by CDs. As there are no studies which discuss whether the act of listening to any therapy will affect outcomes, we will also explore whether white noise can affect outcomes as well. Therefore, one control group (WN) will abide by the same regimen and will listen to a CD with white noise; the other control group (CP) will have no intervention at all and will follow our current peri-operative procedures.
