This phase III trial compares the effect of adding passive music when undergoing bone marrow biopsy/aspirate versus bone marrow biopsy/aspirate alone in reducing anxiety. Music therapy helps relieve pain or stress and promote well-being. Listening to music during a bone marrow biopsy/aspirate procedure may reduce anxiety during the procedure.
Additional locations may be listed on ClinicalTrials.gov for NCT06169267.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To determine whether music listening alleviates psychological distress such as anxiety in patients undergoing bone marrow aspiration and/or biopsy that do not require general anesthesia.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To determine if patients with lower to no anxiety during bone marrow aspiration and/or biopsy will also experience less pain.
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVE:
I. To design and implement an evidence-based music intervention protocol that could be used during bone marrow aspiration and/or biopsy.
OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 groups.
GROUP I: Patients undergo standard of care bone marrow biopsy and/or aspiration.
GROUP II: Patients listen to music while undergoing standard of care bone marrow biopsy and/or aspiration.
