INTRODUCTION There is a lack of randomized research measuring how music therapy might influence fatigue in oncology patients. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this randomized pilot study was to evaluate the effects of music therapy in the form of patient-preferred live music (PPLM) on fatigue, energy and pain in adults hospitalized on a blood and marrow transplant (BMT) unit. METHOD Participants (n = 35) were randomly assigned to an experimental or wait-list control group and completed the Lee Fatigue Scale and a 10-point Likert-type pain scale at pre- and posttest. RESULTS Between-group posttest results were statistically significant for fatigue and pain, with the experimental group having less fatigue and pain than the control group. CONCLUSIONS PPLM can be a preferred and effective intervention to immediately lessen fatigue and pain without pharmacological intervention. Implications for clinical practice, limitations and suggestions for future research are provided.

在血液和骨髓移植病房的住院成人肿瘤患者中，以患者喜欢的现场音乐的形式对音乐疗法进行随机试点研究，以缓解疲劳、精力和疼痛。

介绍 缺乏随机研究来衡量音乐疗法如何影响肿瘤患者的疲劳。目的 本随机试点研究的目的是评估患者首选现场音乐 (PPLM) 形式的音乐疗法对血液和骨髓移植 (BMT) 病房住院成人的疲劳、精力和疼痛的影响。方法 参与者（n = 35）被随机分配到一个实验或等待名单对照组，并在前测和后测中完成李疲劳量表和 10 分李克特型疼痛量表。结果 疲劳和疼痛的组间后测结果具有统计学意义，实验组的疲劳和疼痛少于对照组。结论 PPLM 是一种首选且有效的干预措施，可在无需药物干预的情况下立即减轻疲劳和疼痛。提供了对临床实践的影响、局限性和对未来研究的建议。
