Overview

AI-generated summary, not a substitute for reading the source.

This randomized clinical trial compares the efficacy of telehealth-delivered music therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for reducing anxiety in 300 cancer survivors. The study evaluates changes in anxiety scores at weeks 8 and 26, alongside secondary outcomes such as fatigue, depression, and quality of life. Results indicate that music therapy is noninferior to CBT, with both interventions producing clinically meaningful and durable improvements in anxiety levels.
