Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This randomized controlled study aims to evaluate the effects of music therapy administered during radiotherapy sessions on pain, stress, and anxiety levels in cancer patients. The intervention involves playing Musicure, a therapeutic music track, for 30 minutes via speakers during radiotherapy. The study includes two groups: an intervention group receiving music therapy and a control group receiving standard care without music.

Participants' pain levels were assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), while anxiety and stress levels were measured using the Face Anxıety Subscale ( FAS).

A total of 120 adult cancer patients undergoing outpatient radiotherapy at Tınaztepe Unıversty were included. The study was conducted under the supervision of Dr. Öğr.
