Abstract

The purpose of this research is to discover changes of WBC and ANC numbers before and after applying Oriental medicine therapy to blood cancer patients. After that, appropriate music therapy method was well planned and carried for patients. Demonstration and music were conducted according to Ohaeng theory. The oriental music therapy was conducted three hours everyday by listening to music and we made patients participate in playing the instrument for one hour in two times a week. The result was verified in three ways by checking and comparing numbers of WBC, ratio of ANC and New Trophil before and after the experiment. In addition to that verification, we analyzed patients' survey and their response after treatment. The result was that WBC and ANC were efficient as p=0.0419, p=0.0262 each and the ratio of New trophil was not efficient in p=0.999, but partially increased.
