潘智文醫生夥同癌症資訊網創辦人吳偉麟、註冊表達藝術治療師張文茵博士,去年11月創辦非牟利性質的創藝治療中心Artzwell 。「Artzwell」名字源自德文Arzt(解作醫生),引伸而成「Art is well.」,位於中環的藝術中心,有不同的藝術治療課程,如繪畫、音樂、戲劇、解夢等,藝術治療師透過多元的藝術創作,為參加者提供撫平身心靈的需要。
另一項隨機對照試驗測試了116名乳腺癌或婦科癌症女病人用音樂治療對電療期間疲倦和抑鬱的幫助。音樂治療組(53人)和非音樂治療組(63人)都接受了疲倦量表(Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy: Fatigue (FACT-F))、癌症治療相關生活品質量表(Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy–General (FACT-G))和貝克抑鬱量表(Beck Depression Inventory (BDI))的評估。音樂治療組在電療期間進行了10 次音樂治療,而非音樂治療組則沒有。與非音樂治療組相比,音樂治療組的 FACT-F和FACT-G結果都具有顯著性進步。這證明了個人音樂治療課程可能有效減少與癌症相關的疲勞和抑鬱症狀,並改善接受電療的乳腺癌或婦科癌症女性的生活質素。
