Background: Whether music therapy improves coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients’ anxiety, depression, and life
quality are still controversial. Therefore, to provide evidence-based medical evidence for clinical non-pharmacological interventions,
we performed a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials of music therapy for COVID-19 patients’ anxiety, depression, and life
quality.
Methods: Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials Repositories, PubMed, Embase, Web of Science and Chinese Science
Citation Database, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, Chinese Scientific Journal
Database, and Wan-Fang database were searched to identify studies on the evaluation of the effectiveness of the music-based
intervention on COVID-19 patients’ anxiety, depression, and life quality from inception to May 2021. Two researchers independently
carried out data extraction and literature quality evaluation of the quality and the meta-analysis on the included literature was
performed with Revman5.3 software.
Results: The results of this meta-analysis will be submitted to a peer-reviewed journal for publication.
Conclusion: This study will provide reliable evidence-based evidence for the effects of music therapy on COVID-19 patients’
anxiety, depression, and life quality.music therapy covid 19 depression
