Details and patient eligibility

About

Demonstrate the feasibility of conducting an eight-week, (45 min/week), theory driven, virtually-delivered, tailored music-based relaxation (TiMBRe) intervention to decrease anxiety in adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer survivors with clinically-relevant anxiety.

Full description

Initially Sessions 7 and 8 were both body percussion; however, the 04FEB2025 changed this to Session 7 will be body percussion and session 8 will be selected by the participant. This will allow for more tailoring of the intervention.

Enrollment: 50 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 15 to 39 years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• 15 - 39 years old
• at least one month post cancer treatment
• report clinically relevant anxiety in the past seven days (PROMIS Anxiety 4a scores ≥ 55)35
• speak/read English.

Exclusion criteria

• prognosis less than 3 months
• documentation of significant hearing impairment
• plan to receive surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy for cancer treatment during the study period
• plans in place to begin new psychosocial (i.e., cognitive behavioral therapy14 or mindfulness-based stress reduction15) or pharmacological treatments for anxiety during the study. Although, participants may continue psychosocial or pharmacological treatments for anxiety if the treatments were initiated at least eight weeks prior to study enrollment, the dose has not changed, and they report clinically relevant anxiety in the last week.
