Research progress on the combined application of music therapy in the intervention of cancer-related fatigue
Cancer-related fatigue(CRF)is one of the common clinical accompanying symptoms of cancer patients,which is a multi-dimensional fatigue feeling with multi-factor interaction throughout the whole process of cancer.It is harmful and difficult to cure,which has a double negative impact on the physical and mental health of patients,and seriously reduces the quality of life of patients.At present,the mechanism of CRF is not clear at home and abroad,and there is also a lack of rec-ognized effective drug treatment.Complementary and alternative medicine can effectively alleviate the symptoms of CRF in cancer patients,reduce the occurrence of adverse reactions of treatment,and improve the quality of life.Among them,non-drug therapy represented by music therapy has been paid more and more attention as a complementary therapy.This article summarizes the mechanism of action,types and representative works of music therapy,and summarizes the combined application and effect of music therapy in cancer patients with CRF,in order to provide a reference for music therapy in the treatment of cancer patients with CRF,and strive to achieve scientific and quantitative music prescription as soon as possi-ble,so as to serve patients better.
