Integrated non-pharmacological therapies for the management of procedural pain: music therapy in paediatric oncology
Riassunto
I pazienti pediatrici affetti da patologie oncologiche ed ematologiche vengono ripetutamente sottoposti a procedure diagnostiche invasive. Per la gestione del dolore, dell’ansia e dello stress procedurale, occorre un approccio multidisciplinare e interprofessionale. Tra gli interventi non farmacologici basati sulla musica, la musicoterapia è sempre più utilizzata in aggiunta agli approcci tradizionali in analgo-sedazione. Il nostro gruppo di ricerca ha valutato gli effetti dalla MT su dolore, ansia e stress preoperatorio durante procedure diagnostiche invasive in oncologia pediatrica.
Abstract
Pediatric patients affected by oncological and hematological pathologies repeatedly undergo invasive diagnostic procedures. Pain, anxiety, and stress needs to have a multidisciplinary and interprofessional approach. Among non-pharmacological interventions based on music, music therapy is increasingly used as techniques integrating analgo-sedation. Our research team investigated the effects of music therapy on pain, pre operative anxiety and stress during invasive procedures in pediatric oncology.
