Abstract: Objective To observe the analgesic effect of the musicotherapy-assisted morphine on patients with cancer pain and to reduce the needs of the morphine. Methods 52 patients with moderate or severe cancer pain were randomly divided into experimental group (30 cases) and control group (22 cases).The pain level and the medicine use were recorded before giving the analgesic drug. After giving the drug,patients in experimental group were treated with musicotherapy by soothing MP3 music about 20 to 30 minutes and those in control group were treated with medicine only. Results The pain relief degree in experimental group was more obvious than control group by less morphine dosage and the effective rate of experimental group and control group were 90% (27/30)and 77.3% ( 17/22 ), respectively. The difference reached the statistical significance (P ＜0. 05 ). Conclusions Musicotherapy-assisted morphine could reduce the pain levels and the dose of morphine of tumor patients.
