Commentary on: Chuang C, Chen C: Effects of music intervention on quality of life, anxiety and fatigue among patients with breast cancer: a randomized controlled trial, Oncol Nurs Forum , 2024;51(5):467-482. ### Implications for practice and research Music intervention is a complementary treatment that aims to ameliorate symptoms related to a medical condition.
