“…Despite these many differences in study design, significant beneficial effects of exposure to music on the experience of pain have consistently been documented in adults, neonates and children (e.g., Klassen et al, 2008;van der Heijden et al, 2015;Johnson et al, 2021;Ting et al, 2022), and across a range of acute and chronic conditions (Garza-Villareal et al, 2017). For example in childbirth (e.g., Simavli et al, 2014;Maleki and Youseflu, 2023), dysmenorrhea (Martin-Saavedra and Ruiz-Sternberg, 2018), laparoscopy (Choi et al, 2023), orthopaedics (Lin et al, 2019;Yu et al, 2020), cancer (Chow et al, 2023;Huang and Huang, 2023), fibromyalgia (Guétin et al, 2012;Usui et al, 2020), dermatology (Riew et al, 2023) and pre-and postoperative care during cardiovascular (Voss et al, 2004;Nilsson, 2009;Wang et al, 2020;Chandrababu et al, 2021;Kakar et al, 2021) or abdominal surgery (e.g., Good et al, 2005;Dale, 2021). There is evidence of music providing pain relief in patients being treated for burns (Whitehead-Pleaux et al, 2007;Hsu et al, 2016;Wu et al, 2021), and for patients in emergency departments or intensive care units (Richard-Lalonde et al, 2020;See et al, 2023;Vijay and Hauser, 2023).…”

In modern times there is increasing acceptance that music-based interventions are useful aids in the clinical treatment of a range of neurological and psychiatric conditions, including helping to reduce the perception of pain. Indeed, the belief that music, whether listening or performing, can alter human pain experiences has a long history, dating back to the ancient Greeks, and its potential healing properties have long been appreciated by indigenous cultures around the world. The subjective experience of acute or chronic pain is complex, influenced by many intersecting physiological and psychological factors, and it is therefore to be expected that the impact of music therapy on the pain experience may vary from one situation to another, and from one person to another. Where pain persists and becomes chronic, aberrant central processing is a key feature associated with the ongoing pain experience. Nonetheless, beneficial effects of exposure to music on pain relief have been reported across a wide range of acute and chronic conditions, and it has been shown to be effective in neonates, children and adults. In this comprehensive review we examine the various neurochemical, physiological and psychological factors that underpin the impact of music on the pain experience, factors that potentially operate at many levels – the periphery, spinal cord, brainstem, limbic system and multiple areas of cerebral cortex. We discuss the extent to which these factors, individually or in combination, influence how music affects both the quality and intensity of pain, noting that there remains controversy about the respective roles that diverse central and peripheral processes play in this experience. Better understanding of the mechanisms that underlie music’s impact on pain perception together with insights into central processing of pain should aid in developing more effective synergistic approaches when music therapy is combined with clinical treatments. The ubiquitous nature of music also facilitates application from the therapeutic environment into daily life, for ongoing individual and social benefit.
