Listening to music or a recorded meditation during treatment may reduce related pain, anxiety, and fatigue, according to Scientists with the Duke Cancer Institute in Durham, North Carolina. 121 women undergoing breast-cancer biopsies listened to music (with their choice of instrumental jazz, piano, harp, nature sounds or world music.) or a recorded meditation (which focused on creating positive emotions), versus other women who received standard care (health care workers offering casual conversation and support.) The study revealed that the women who listened to music or meditation had greater reductions in anxiety and fatigue compared to those in the standard care group. Furthermore, those who listed to the recorded meditation had much less pain during the biopsy than those who listened to music.
