[Effects of a standardized musical intervention on the management of pain and anxiety-state of sickle-cell adolescents]. / Effets d'une intervention musicale standardisée sur la gestion de la douleur et de l'anxiété-état des adolescents drépanocytaires.

The effect of a standardized musical intervention for adolescents with sickle cell disease was studied. Two groups were evaluated using the visual analog scale of pain and the anxiety-state inventory before and after a standardized musical intervention or breathing intervention. A significant decrease in scores was observed, most notably for the group benefiting from the standardized musical intervention. This intervention could be integrated into the overall management of adolescents with sickle cell disease.
