Summary

This trial tests a music therapy to improve quality of life and reduce symptoms in patients getting a stem cell transplant.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for English or Spanish speakers aged 18+ with myelodysplastic syndrome, acute myeloid leukemia, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, or non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma who are planning to undergo allogeneic stem cell transplantation. It excludes those with severe psychiatric issues, cognitive impairments, recent substance dependence, hearing problems, or recent mindfulness/music therapy participation.
What is being tested?
The study tests an electronic health mindfulness-based music therapy intervention aimed at improving life quality and reducing symptoms in patients undergoing allogeneic stem cell transplants. Participants will receive either Mindfulness Meditation (MM) or Mindfulness-based Music Therapy (MBMT).
What are the potential side effects?
Since the interventions involve meditation and music therapy rather than drugs or invasive procedures, significant side effects are not expected. However, participants may experience emotional discomfort due to the nature of mindfulness practices.
