Summary:Background: Palliative cancer patients undergo severe pain. Pharmacological therapy in some cases cannot fully relieve pain. Self-selected Individual Music Therapy (SeLIMuT) is non pharmacological relaxation stimulating complementary therapy which is safe, accessible, inexpensive and effective. Objective: The study aimed to identify effect of SeLIMuT to pain in palliative cancer patients. Metode: The study was a quasi experiment- pre-test and post-test design using comparison group with purposive and consecutive sampling carried out at inpatient ward I of Dr Sardjito Hospital Yogyakarta. Respondents were divided into intervention group (n=23) with SeLIMuT therapy four times each within 15-20 minutes and control group (n=23) without therapy. Pain was assessed in both groups using Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Result: The result of the study showed that there was significant difference in average pre-post in both groups with score of p=0.001 (p<0.05). Pain decrease occurred in SeLIMuT group after intervention with score of mean 2.144 (0.91). Pain decrease in SeLIMuT group was also clinically significant (mean�1.0). Increase in pain level occurred in the control group with score of mean -0.03 (0.15). Conclusion: SeLIMuT intervention both statistically and clinically affected pain level in palliative cancer patients. SeLIMuT was effective in reducing pain.
