Music Interventions for Patients Undergoing Hemodialysis

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Fatigue is found to be one of the most persistent problems among patients in treatment with hemodialysis, and associated with impaired health-related quality of life. A few, non-randomized controlled trials have found positive effects on fatigue by offering pre-recorded music intra-dialytic, however, without conclusive results. So far, no studies have investigated the feasibility of integrating person-tailored live music interventions performed by professional musicians into a hemodialysis setting. This leaves a deficit in knowledge for intervention planning, understanding and effectiveness of live music on fatigue, wellbeing and feelings of meaningfulness in this group of patients. Methods: A pilot randomized controlled trial combined with qualitative methods. The data collection will involve recruitment of 24 patients from an outpatient clinic over a six-week period. The patients will be randomized into either an intervention group or a control group. Patients in the intervention group will be offered a 30-minute session of patient-tailored live music intervention per week for six consecutive weeks. Patients in the control group will receive standard care. Quantitative analysis on immediate post-dialysis fatigue (VAS), and long-term fatigue (MFI-20), anxiety, depression (HADS) and treatment satisfaction (VAS) will show the potential effectiveness of intervention. Qualitative analysis of informal-interviews (patients/staff), observational data (patients) and focus group interviews (staff/musicians) will explore an in-depth understanding of whether music will improve wellbeing and create feelings of meaningfulness among this group of patients as well as to assess feasibility acceptability among patients, musicians and staff. Perspectives: This trial will ensure a firm methodological approach for the development of a future definitive randomized controlled trial of music intervention for fatigue reduction and wellbeing among hemodialysis patients.

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
