Official title

Virtual AI-Assisted Music Therapy for Anxiety Symptoms in People With Advanced Cancer (VIRTUOSO)

Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

The researchers are doing this study to compare two different music-based treatment approaches and see if one may work better to reduce anxiety. The researchers will also study whether these music-based treatment approaches help people feel socially connected and change how they cope with anxiety, and whether these changes are linked to lower anxiety levels. Both approaches use music-based activities to treat anxiety. One of the approaches uses an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered song creation platform to write songs with a music therapist. The other approach involves music listening exercises and music-based discussions with research staff, during which you will learn about music culture and history.
