Group music therapy for the proactive management of stress and anxiety.

Finnerty R, Trainor L. · PLOS mental health · 2025 · Randomized controlled trial report · double blinding not verified

Original publication · Original publication · Original publication · Original publication · Original publication

Recorded summary

Reported greater reductions in stress, state anxiety and hair cortisol; 71% of intervention respondents found it helpful.

Recorded limitations

Unblinded self-report, inactive comparator, mostly female, course participation recruitment, missing hair samples and unusable HRV. No economic evaluation supports the paper's broader cost-effectiveness language.

Evidence and provenance

Chapter Trust Factor uses a minimum of three distinct qualifying studies. Publication records retain their own evidence and assessment.

    summary
    Reported greater reductions in stress, state anxiety and hair cortisol; 71% of intervention respondents found it helpful.
    limitation
    Unblinded self-report, inactive comparator, mostly female, course participation recruitment, missing hair samples and unusable HRV. No economic evaluation supports the paper's broader cost-effectiveness language.
