The goals of the study were (i) to describe a tool for research, (ii) to evaluate the use of the computerized database and (iii) to investigate the efficacy of music therapy. The database was designed working with a computer consultant and familiar computer programs. Several tools were used for assessment and data collection, and they consisted primarily of visual analog scales (VASs) using separate scales for different problems (i.e. mood, pain, anxiety and shortness of breath). Over a period of 1 year, 150 patients were seen, and 90 of their initial music therapy sessions were analyzed. A pre-test and post-test with the VASs were used, and the data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed rank test at the P \u003c 0.05 level. Statistical significance was found for patient-rated scores for pain, mood and anxiety following music therapy. There was no significance for shortness of breath. Although the author acknowledged that this study was limited because subjects were not randomly assigned and it used an ex post facto design, the data indicated that music therapy is beneficial for people suffering from pain, mood distortions and anxiety within the palliative care treatment model (38).","tracks":[{"project":"2_test","denotations":[{"id":"15937557-11816754-29618191","span":{"begin":1316,"end":1318},"obj":"11816754"}],"attributes":[{"subj":"15937557-11816754-29618191","pred":"source","obj":"2_test"}]},{"project":"MyTest","denotations":[{"id":"15937557-11816754-29618191","span":{"begin":1316,"end":1318},"obj":"11816754"}],"namespaces":[{"prefix":"_base","uri":"https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/testbase"},{"prefix":"UniProtKB","uri":"https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/"},{"prefix":"uniprot","uri":"https://www.uniprot.org/uniprotkb/"}],"attributes":[{"subj":"15937557-11816754-29618191","pred":"source","obj":"MyTest"}]}],"config":{"attribute types":[{"pred":"source","value type":"selection","values":[{"id":"2_test","color":"#ecc393","default":true},{"id":"MyTest","color":"#a993ec"}]}]}}
