Music therapy is the supervised and therapeutic use of music by a credentialed therapist to promote positive clinical outcomes. It can be a valuable form of complementary medicine in the oncology setting to decrease patient stress and anxiety, relieve pain and nausea, provide distraction, alleviate depression, and promote the expression of feelings. The music therapist assesses the patient and consults other members of the multidisciplinary team to create a therapeutic treatment plan. Music therapists design music sessions based on patients' needs and their intended therapeutic goals. Patients can participate actively or passively in individual or group sessions. Only a credentialed music therapist can provide safe and beneficial music therapy interventions.
音乐疗法是指由具备资质的治疗师有监督地将音乐用于治疗目的，以促进产生积极的临床效果。在肿瘤治疗环境中，它可是一种很有价值的补充医学形式，有助于减轻患者的压力和焦虑、缓解疼痛与恶心、分散注意力、减轻抑郁，并促进情感表达。音乐治疗师会对患者进行评估，并与多学科团队的其他成员协商，以制定出一份治疗方案。音乐治疗师会根据患者的需求及其预期治疗目标来设计音乐疗程。患者可以在个人或团体疗程中主动或被动地参与。只有具备资质的音乐治疗师才能提供安全且有益的音乐疗法干预措施。
