The idea is interesting. I don't think that your protocol actually addresses the premise.
What your protocol would measure is the effect spiritual healing on musical taste.
Healing and psychic attacks are not directly related.
Adding additional outside 'help' just clouds the situation of attacks by adding another variable.
I would strongly suggest that a 'no music' preference be considered. I have noticed that the people strongest in avoiding and defending attacks listen to the least music. Of course my sample set is too small to reach any broad conclusion. However, its possible that listening to music of any kind invites attacks or that people who are attacked use music as a self-medication.

Ideally to address the premise, all groups would be randomly attacked to determine their vulnerability. This of course has some ethical issues. Then for a control, the groups would randomly be assigned different music to see if there is any change.
Perhaps the ethics can be skirted by using subjects already being attacked rather than initiating it as part of the experiment.
First the participants would be interviewed as to what music they currently listen to and to the nature of them being attacked. Then for the first study period, the participants would simply document their actual music habits and the attacks they experience.
Then each participant would bring in the album/CD/MP3s they listened to most.
Then in the second study period, the participants would be given random music from the ones collected above. They would then be instructed to play the given music in place of their usual music. Again they would record the actual music listened to and the attacks they experience.
More study periods could be added by reshuffling the same music collections.
Although not a clean way to do it, it would give a comparison for a specific collections of music. Perhaps by classifying the music, trends could noticed. This does not rule out possibility that specific music causes the effect rather than the more general genre.
The down side is that if some music does invite attacks, some would be exposed to more than their usual problems. This could be mitigated a bit by not insisting that people only listen to the music given to them as long as the accurately document what they listened to.
