Pilot Feasibility Study of Changes in Gene Regulation and DNA Methylation Following Music Therapy

Study on Music Therapy and Gene Activity in Women with Gynecological Cancers

Not Recruiting

Phase N/A

Brief description of study.

The purpose of this study is to look for changes in the rate at which genes copy themselves, as well as the places on the outside of DNA where methyl groups attach themselves, in response to music therapy in women undergoing chemotherapy for gynecological cancers.

Detailed description of study

The purpose of this study is to look for changes in the rate at which genes copy themselves, as well as the places on the outside of DNA where methyl groups attach themselves, in response to music therapy in women undergoing chemotherapy for gynecological cancers.

Eligibility of study

You may be eligible for this study if you meet the following criteria:

  • Conditions: Healthy
  • Age: 100 years or below
  • Gender: All

This study investigates the effects of music therapy on gene activity in women receiving chemotherapy for gynecological cancers. It aims to understand how music therapy might influence the rate at which genes copy themselves and the attachment of methyl groups to DNA. Methyl groups are small chemical units that can attach to DNA and potentially affect gene function.

Participants in the study will receive music therapy sessions while undergoing chemotherapy. The study will measure changes in gene activity and DNA methylation to assess the impact of music therapy.

  • Who can participate: This study is open to women aged 18 and older who are currently undergoing chemotherapy for gynecological cancers.
  • Study details: Participants will engage in music therapy sessions during their chemotherapy treatment. The study will involve measuring changes in gene activity and DNA methylation. A placebo, an inactive treatment, may be used for comparison if applicable.
