Murottal as Adjunctive Intervention in Pediatric
Quranic Auditory Stimulus (Surah Ar-Rahman) as Adjunctive Psychospiritual Intervention for Anxiety and Sleep Disturbances in Pediatric Blood Cancer: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 9 Oct 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This study aims to evaluate whether listening to the recitation of Surah Ar-Rahman (Murottal) before bedtime can help improve anxiety and sleep quality in hospitalized children with blood cancer. Twenty children aged 8-12 years will be divided into two groups: one group will receive standard care plus the Murottal intervention for 7 days, while the other group will receive standard care only. Anxiety and sleep quality will be measured using validated questionnaires (SCARED and SDSC) before and after the intervention. We hope this study will provide evidence that Murottal can be a safe, non-invasive, and culturally appropriate supportive therapy for pediatric cancer patients.
