Music Intervention for Dialysis Patients
Sponsor: National University of Singapore
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to examine the efficacy of both live and pre-recorded music interventions on alleviating the negative effects of dialysis treatment. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does music intervention have an effect on experienced pain, itch, anxiety, depression, and quality of life in dialysis patients? * To what extent do pre-recorded and live music performances differ in their effect on experienced pain, itch, anxiety, depression, and quality of life in dialysis patients? Participants will Attend their regularly scheduled dialysis appointments for one week, and baseline data will be gathered (pain/itch NRS, WHO-5, DASS21). During the second week, participants will be exposed to live music, and research data will be gathered. This process will then be repeated in weeks 3 and 4, but with pre-recorded music as the intervention method. Researchers will compare baseline data to intervention data (within group comparison), as well as live music to pre-recorded (between group comparison).

Interventions
Live music
Patients will have baseline data collection in the first week, followed by live music sessions and data collection during dialysis in the second week. The live music will be played for 45 minutes to one hour per dialysis session, and will be played during each of patients' three dialysis sessions in week 2 of this arm of the study.
Pre-recorded music
Patients will have baseline data collection in the first week, followed by pre-recorded music sessions and data collection during dialysis in the second week. The pre-recorded music will be played for 45 minutes to one hour per dialysis session, and will be played during each of patients' three dialysis sessions in week 2 of this arm of the study.
