Music Therapy at TMH Infusion Center
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effects of a listening music intervention on the symptom burden carried by patients who are receiving infusions at the Lifespan Cancer Institute of Miriam Hospital in Providence, Rhode Island. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Will a music therapy intervention help reduce physical and mental symptom burden? * Will a music therapy intervention be beneficial on physiological parameters during the infusion sessions, such as heart rate, respiratory rate, and blood rate? Participants will undergo the following main tasks: * Prior to the infusion, participants will be given a pre-assessment survey reflecting on their previous experiences with infusions. * During the infusion, participants will listen to a self-selected playlist either on their own device or on an iPad provided by the clinic, and vitals will be monitored. * After the session, participants will be given a post-assessment survey to evaluate outcomes of the intervention. * Participants will also be asked a set of qualitative questions about their overall experience with the music therapy session.
