Feasibility and Acceptability of Remote Music Therapy for Cognitively Impaired Children Receiving Palliative/Complex Care and Their Families.

Music therapy is one palliative care approach to improve physical and psychological outcomes for cognitively impaired children with medical complexity (CMC), their parents, and families. However, CMC are often excluded because some specialist services may not accommodate cognitively impaired and nonverbal children and are generally only available within metropolitan areas (large hospitals/cities). Many CMC are at home and cannot access such interventions. This study examined the feasibility and acceptability of a home-based, remote music therapy (RemoteMT) intervention for cognitively impaired CMC receiving palliative or complex care.
