  Summary

 

When coupled with the often debilitating side-effects of pharmacological interventions, chronic cancer pain may elicit feelings of anxiety and depression and therefore adversely affect patient wellbeing and quality of life. As an adjunctive form of pain management, music therapy has been shown to address some of these hardships by providing patients with an alternative effective means by which to reduce their subjective experiences of pain. Studies investigating the efficacy of music therapy during invasive cancer procedures and chemotherapy demonstrated the role that attentional states play in distracting patients from, and therefore minimizing their experience of, the pain associated with such treatments. Other studies examining diverse outpatient populations revealed similar findings, illustrating well the cognitive-affective dimensions of pain perception. Although these findings fail to adequately address the ambiguity surrounding music therapy's role in cancer pain management, music therapy has nonetheless been shown to significantly reduce anxiety and, in so doing, indirectly lessen the intensity of pain while improving patient quality of life.

 

Introduction

 

Defined as an unpleasant sensory or emotional experience associated with tissue damage (Rainviile et al, 2001), pain plays an indispensable role in providing organisms with a regulatory bio-feedback mechanism with which to safeguard their survival and maintain their integrity in an ever-changing environment (Hunt and Mantyh, 2001). This beneficial adaptation is well demonstrated in me field of oncology, wherein an increase in the severity of pain often signifies a deteriorating condition, and a decrease in pain a correspondingly improving condition (Miguel, 2003). Over a sustained period of time, however, chronic cancer pain may actually lead to anxiety and depression (Hunt and Mantyh, 2001), thereby contributing significantly to unnecessary suffering and a decrease in patient quality of life (Bral, 1998). Indeed, the presence and intensity of pain have been shown to correlate directly with the incidence and severity of depression, along with a higher prevalence of a patient's desire for death (Weitzner et al, 2003). Although opioids and other analgesics have been the mainstay in combating these problems, many patients do not respond well to conventional pharmacological therapies either because of the undesirable side-effects of these medications or simple non-compliance (Plancarte et al, 2003).

 

                                 2

 

In view of these drawbacks, more and more individuals are turning to alternative, non-pharmacologic approaches in managing their pain.

 

This article will:

1.            Discuss variables contributing to the development of persistent, non-nociceptive pain;

2.            Suggest additional psychological factors that mediate pain perception;

3.            Propose musical therapy as an innovative non-pharmacologic treatment for cancer pain management;

4.            Describe experimental studies involving music for pain control with cancer patients; and

5.            Provide details of a specific musical intervention drawn from Chinese spirituality in meditating late-stage complex regional pain.

 

While novel, music therapy is one such field that shows great promise as an adjunctive therapeutic component in cancer pain management which, unlike its analgesic counterparts, poses little to no risk to the patients.

 

 

The Development of Persistent, Non-nociception

 

Given the multi-dimensional nature of pain, which is itself a function of mind and body, a broad understanding of both its physiological and cognitive-affective dimensions must be considered before any discussion of alternative treatments can take place. From a biological standpoint, then, the sensation of pain begins with pain pathways comprised of sensory fibers that convey nociceptive and non-nociceptive information from the skin and most internal tissues to the spinal chord (Hunt and Mantyh, 2001). Within the human body, there are a variety of sensory fibers that evoke unique responses to different kinds of stimulation. Of them, myelinated A fibers and small diameter unmyelinated C fibers have been shown to convey the bulk of nociceptive information. C fibers in particular have been shown to respond to all forms of noxious stimulation, whether thermal, mechanical, or chemical in origin. When stimulated, these fibers synthesize peptides and express growth factors mat together trigger signal-transduction pathways from the spinal chord to the limbic or sensory areas of the forebrain. Derived from innervated tissue, these growth factors maintain the biochemical and physiological status of sensory neurons. Whenever any tissue in the body is

 

                                3

 

damaged or inflamed, these neurons will undergo a series of phenotypic changes derived from new patterns of gene expression in the spinal chord and brain. That is, peptide or growth factor

receptor expression can shift, and new molecular signatures can be expressed, each of which reflect different chronic pain conditions. Since each pain state generates a unique set of neurochemical changes in sensory neurons and the spinal chord, different types of analgesics are required to block the highly variable peripheral actions of these growth factors in order to prevent much of the hyperalgesia that accompanies tissue damage.

 

Despite these decidedly objective physiological pathways, pain is first and foremost a subjective state that cannot be validated or invalidated with certainty by an external observed (Rainville et al, 2001). From a cognitive-affective point of view, several variables may contribute to the development of persistent, non-nociceptive pain. These variables include one's subjective perception of pain severity- where the intensity of acute onset pain serves as a good predictor of the intensity of subsequent chronic pain¡X and the patient's emotional state at the time of acute pain, where anxiety, depression, and lassitude have been shown to contribute to persistent pain states. In addition, a patient's own cognitive processes have been shown to regulate the experience of chronic pain such that maladaptive coping, passive cognition, perceived stress or stressful life events, or disability may lead to the development of persistent pain.

 

Additional Psychological Factors that Mediate Pain Perception

 

Apart from these cognitive processes, a number of additional psychological factors may also mediate pain perception. Among them, a patient's attentional state is perhaps the most studied psychological variable mediating pain perception (Villemure and Bushnell, 2002). A variety of studies investigating the role of attentional state have demonstrated that pain is perceived as less painful when individuals are distracted from it (Alden et al, 2001). Other psychological factors, such as mood and emotional state, may also regulate pain by altering the neurochemistry of the limbic system and other cortical areas of the brain involved in pain perception (Villemure and Bushnell, 2002). 

 

Although virtually no study to date has directly addressed the relationship between neural mechanisms and the emotional modulation of pain perception, researchers have proposed several theories of emotion that seek to reconcile this disparity. Motivational Priming Theory, for instance, postulates the

 

                             4

¡@

existence of an appetitive primary motive system associated with positive affect and an aversive primary motive system associated with negative affect Both systems operate as opponent processes,

where positive affect is associated with increased dopamine levels in the frontal cortical areas of the brain, and vice versa. The release or inhibition of dopamine in turn influences cognitive functioning in the dopaminergic systems of the forebrain involved in pain and analgesia.

 

Even amid the promise that such theories hold for the development of multidisciphnary pain intervention strategies, the medical establishment continues to rely almost exclusively on Pharmaceuticals in managing cancer pain (Plancarte et al, 2003). At present, relying solely on opioids and other analgesics has failed to effectively improve the quality of life for many cancer patients. Statistically speaking, of the 75% of advanced cancer patients in the United States who reportedly experience pain, 25% of them continue to die in severe pain despite the availability of alternative pain management treatments (Weitzner et al, 2003), Ersek etal (1999) sought to investigate these staggering statistics by conducting a qualitative study of patients diagnosed with terminally invasive or metastatic cancer. Among those factors hindering patients' use of pain management strategies were fears of the side effects posed by analgesics, along with concerns about subsequent addiction and tolerance to these medications. In addition, many patients expressed concerns about the cost of medication, as well as a potential decline in function without the aid of prescription drugs. Overall, the study demonstrated that patient attitudes and beliefs greatly influence analgesic use, thereby underscoring the importance of exploring non-pharmacologic approaches in the management of cancer pain.

 

 

Musical Therapy as an Innovative non-Pharmacologic Cancer Pain

 

In view of the recommendations presented by Ersek et al (1999), the burgeoning field of Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) signifies a new era in the development of innovative non-pharmacologic treatments which together hold great promise for cancer pain management. With anywhere between 7% and 64% of worldwide cancer patients using CAM treatments during some stage of the disease, many researchers in the field have suggested that these patients are themselves primarily responsible for the rise in CAM use for pain and symptom management (Ott, 2002). At present, roughly 70% of patients in cancer research and treatment centers

in the United States depend on CAM therapies; compelling oncology professionals to develop a basic knowledge of these therapies and to incorporate where appropriate evidence-based CAMs into their clinical practices. Broadly speaking, CAM domains encompass  

mind-body, manipulative body-based, energy, and a host of other alternative medical systems drawn from a variety of esoteric traditions. Music therapy specifically fells beneath the mind-body domain, which seeks to reduce stress and develop an inner calmness, stability, and non-reactivity of the mind by quieting the mind and body. Reports indicate that many cancer patients in ambulatory settings found mind-body techniques helpful in enabling them to become more compassionate caregivers of their own experience without being drawn into the drama of past events or speculations of future events. As a result, they experienced decreased stress and suffering along with fewer mood disturbances.

 

Experimental Studies Involving Music for Pain Control with Cancer Patients

 

In examining more closely these anecdotal reports, a study conducted by Susan Beck sought to explore the effects of music on cancer patients' pain perception (Kerkvliet, 1990). By using a visual analogue pain scale to measure the effects of at least 90 minutes of music exposure each day, patients listened to selections that they found most pleasing. Of the 15 outpatients in the study, 12 reported at least some beneficial response to music therapy, while 7 of those experienced a moderate to great response. Beck postulated that the non-threatening qualities of music put patients at ease and enabled them to better express their fears and frustrations. By facilitating communication, music therapy therefore helped to motivate patients to relax, providing them with greater pain relief in the process. According to Beck, the next step in the evolution of music therapy involves building a music library from which patients can choose their own favorite musical selections, as well as investigating some of the underlying neural mechanisms involved in music's apparently beneficial effects. Weber et al (1997) sought to further explore these decidedly beneficial findings by examining the influence of music therapy on cancer patients during chemotherapy as a means of reducing some of the emotional trauma, anxiety, and tension associated with cancer treatment. The one-year pilot project involved 35 cancer patients who were given the option of listening to music during chemotherapy treatment from a variety of different musical genres and styles. "

Findings indicated that music did indeed improve the quality of life for these patients, as measured by more relaxed facial expressions and decreased muscle tension. Surprisingly, the longer therapy continued, patients became more greatful to the music they listened to. Furthermore, a majority of the

participants preferred classical music to other genres, including new age, prompting Weber et al (1997) to conclude that classical music must by virtue of its melodic design have a way of calming patients more significantly than other types of music. Together, the findings of Beck"(KeikvIfet, 1990) and Weber et al l997) support the aforementioned notion that attentional states may distract cancer patients from their pain (Vaiemure and Bushnell, 2002). Accordingly, Kwekkeboom (2003) sought to take these findings one-step further by examining whether music may also play a role in altering the perception and transmission of pain impulses by activating the limbic system and other sensory regions of the brain. In assessing the validity of this hypothesis, the study used a controlled experimental design in which 58 cancer patients were randomly assigned to one of three conditions during a noxious medical procedure: an experimental music intervention group, an experimental distraction intervention group, or a control group. Research nurses helped participants to complete pain rating scales and other measures of anxiety before and after the procedure. As a whole, no significant differences were found in pain, anxiety, and perceived control outcomes between the music intervention and distraction groups, suggesting that music may simply serve as a mode of distraction. It is important to note, however, that several confounding variables may have negatively affected the outcome of the study, including the relatively early phase of treatment for some patients- who would want to be fully present and not distracted from what was going on- along with added distraction from the voices of the surgeon and other personnel which would have made it difficult to concentrate on the music during the procedure. Despite these mitigating variables, the study nonetheless confirmed that, in the very least, music may serve as a useful distraction in effectively decreasing cancer patients' subjective experience of pain.       

 

 

Description of a Specific Chinese Spirituality Musical Intervention

 

Whereas a majority of the representative research into music therapy and cancer pain management required that patients select their own genre of music, Professor Wu (1999) sought to assess the clinical efficacy of a specific musical genre drawn from Chinese spirituality in mediating late-stage complex regional

pain syndrome (CRPS-I). Defined literally as "vital energy training," music therapy is based upon the traditional Chinese system of medicine that regards illness as the end result of a fundamental imbalance of Qi, the universal vital energy. Qi itself consists of YIN and YANG, or negatively and positively charged  forms of energy. Although mutually interdependent, these two types of energy are in opposition to one another such that when one increases, the other decreases. All forms of treatment within the Chinese system therefore attempt to reestablish equilibrium between these opposing forces.

 

Surprisingly, a number of anecdotal reports suggest that music therapy training has the potential to reverse structural abnormalities and improve function among patients with long-term disabilities. In examining the validity of these reports, Professor Wu (1999) assigned 26 adult patients with CRPS-I to one of two independent groups: an experimental music therapy training group and a control group. Although both groups were instructed to listen to recordings of various musical compositions while viewing associated visual images, only the experimental group received subsequent music therapy training by certified Asian masters. Results indicated that 82% of music therapy patients reported less pain by the end of the first training session compared to only 45% of the control patients. By the end of the last training session, roughly 91% of patients reported a transient (within-session) reduction in pain compared to only 36% of the control group. Moreover, while only 70% of the control group reported a between-session reduction in anxiety, 100% of the music therapy patients reported a decline in the anxiety they experienced as a direct result of the training they received. Although the study ultimately failed to demonstrate any dramatic changes in structural abnormalities or unproved function, music therapy training was nevertheless helpful in managing some of the subjective dimensions of CRPS-I, including pain and emotional distress.

 

In considering the broad differences in experimental design and methodology employed by the aforementioned studies, Evans (2002) sought to investigate music therapy's overall effectiveness in patient care by conducting a systematic review of 29 such studies. As a whole, the meta-analysis indicated that music has no effect when patients are asked to think about and rate the severity of their pain. However, there was some evidence to suggest that music may serve as an effective diversion in reducing patient anxiety. Music was shown to improve the mood of hospital patients, reduce

the need for sedation and analgesia during procedures, and improve patient tolerance during these procedures. As a caveat to these findings, however, many of the studies in the review failed to arrive at any definitive conclusions due to their small sample sizes and inadequate funding, the latter of which may have stifled a more in-depth examination of music therapy's potentially

 

beneficial prospects. Nevertheless, even despite these shortcomings, Evans (2002) successfully validated the effectiveness of music therapy in a manner consistent with the findings of Beck (Kerkvliet, 1990), Weber et al 1997), Kwekkeboom (2003), and Wu (1999).

 

 

Directions for Future Research and Conclusion

 

Given the paucity of research surrounding the relationship between the physiological and Cognitive-affective dimensions of pain, future research should seek to address the underlying physiological mechanisms involved in music therapy's role in pain management. Quantitative, as opposed to qualitative, assessments would more definitely examine this relationship from an objective standpoint despite the inherently subjective nature of pain. In addition, studies with greater sample sizes and more controlled experimental designs would more conclusively assess the efficacy of music therapy as an adjunctive pain management strategy. Studies employing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques, for instance, may better elucidate some of the underlying neural mechanisms involved in music therapy. That is, having cancer patients listen to a standardized repertoire of music while undergoing an MRI scan may potentially clarify some of the ambiguity surrounding music therapy by providing clinicians with solid empirical evidence to support their findings. Where possible, future research should also seek to conduct long-term studies examining the impact of music therapy over an extended period of time.

 

By employing these proposed modifications, researchers may ultimately arrive at a better understanding of pain from both a subjective and objective standpoint and, in so doing, develop more comprehensive intervention strategies in the treatment and management of cancer pain. As a step in the right direction, clinicians have already begun to develop more comprehensive models for cancer pain management that seek to integrate the psycho-social-spiritual dimensions of health and wellbeing.

Otis-Green et al (2002), for instance, recognized the multi-dimensional nature of cancer pain and have accordingly developed a multidisciphnary model that seeks to provide the most effective pain management techniques to a variety of patients within cancer research centers. According to this model, effective and comprehensive pain management should be carried out by a team of health care practitioners comprised of psychologists, social workers, spiritual care providers, and

 

 

psychiatrists. By integrating these disciplines, clinicians can be sure to promote more fulfilling, supportive, and professional relationships in managing the pain and suffering of their patients. Within such an inclusive context, music therapy and its correspondingly beneficial effects will most surely represent but one aspect of a more holistic approach towards minimizing the pain and suffering associated with cancer.
