Interactive Group Drumming and "Chemo Brain"

Research Question:
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of interactive group drumming on cognitive function for subjects experiencing “chemo brain.”

Basic Study Information

Purpose:
If you decide to take part in this study, you will be asked to participate, as you are able, in four consecutive weekly drumming groups of up to ten people occurring at the same time each week, led by a professional facilitator. Each group will be one hour in length. During these groups, the facilitator will invite subjects to follow simple oral (singing and speaking) and musical instructions by playing the drums we will provide. At the beginning and the end of each session, you will be asked to answer a brief questionnaire about your state of wellbeing. At the beginning and end of the study, you will be asked to answer a survey about cognitive function (and your experience with “chemo brain”) using the FACT COG assessment survey. After the study concludes, you will be asked to answer a survey about satisfaction with your experience of the drumming session. Your participation will last about 4 weeks.
