摘要

Purpose of the Review

Describe China’s current landscape of music-based interventions utilization in the field of breast cancer. The concept of using music therapeutically in medical contexts was introduced to China around the late 1980s, but few studies have systematically reviewed its effects among the Chinese population specifically. This review also aims to provide recommendations for future studies based on the current practice context of music-based interventions in China.

Recent Findings

The reviewed studies continue to contribute to the global literature supporting music-based interventions’ positive effects on anxiety, depression, and sleep quality among breast cancer patients. However, evidence on the potential benefits for pain control, fatigue, and patient satisfaction remains mixed.

Summary

Future studies should be designed to evaluate standardized music listening as medicine protocols for replication and clinical translation. Additionally, using the same validated outcome measurement tools, where feasible, will reduce bias. Researchers should also strive to adopt standardized terminology as defined by professional associations.
