“…The non-musical sound samples consisted of alternating, frequency-filtered noise clips that were chosen based on studies where participants perceived filtered noise to be less distressing than white noise [33], [34]. During Session 2, all participants chose the song they wanted to listen to during the pain trials prior to their first exposure to audio.…”

Well-Loved Music Robustly Relieves Pain: A Randomized, Controlled Trial

Music has pain-relieving effects, but its mechanisms remain unclear. We sought to verify previously studied analgesic components and further elucidate the underpinnings of music analgesia. Using a well-characterized conditioning-enhanced placebo model, we examined whether boosting expectations would enhance or interfere with analgesia from strongly preferred music. A two-session experiment was performed with 48 healthy, pain experiment-naïve participants. In a first cohort, 36 were randomized into 3 treatment groups, including music enhanced with positive expectancy, non-musical sound enhanced with positive expectancy, and no expectancy enhancement. A separate replication cohort of 12 participants received only expectancy-enhanced music following the main experiment to verify the results of expectancy-manipulation on music. Primary outcome measures included the change in subjective pain ratings to calibrated experimental noxious heat stimuli, as well as changes in treatment expectations. Without conditioning, expectations were strongly in favor of music compared to non-musical sound. While measured expectations were enhanced by conditioning, this failed to affect either music or sound analgesia significantly. Strongly preferred music on its own was as pain relieving as conditioning-enhanced strongly preferred music, and more analgesic than enhanced sound. Our results demonstrate the pain-relieving power of personal music even over enhanced expectations.Trial InformationClinicaltrials.gov NCT01835275.

“…Indeed, numerous studies have experimentally demonstrated the benefits of induced PA on acute pain, with the general finding that PA inductions reduce pain sensitivity (See Table 1 for a selection of studies across nociceptive stimulus and affective induction modalities). Such effects have been observed in studies involving positive affective induction through the viewing of emotionally evocative images (e.g., 29;30;31;32;33;34;35;36), humorous film clips (37;38), romantic film clips (39), therapeutic suggestion (40), hypnotic suggestion (41), guided imagery (42), laughter (43), pleasant odors (44;45), pleasant music (35;46–50), and monetary reward (51). Recent work using the nociception flexion reflex design suggests that the effects of induced PA on pain may be spinally mediated (32;33;52).…”

This narrative review summarizes and integrates the available literature on PA and pain to: 1) Provide a brief overview of PA and summarize the key findings that have emerged in the study of PA and chronic pain; 2) Provide a theoretical foundation from which to understand how PA operates in the context of chronic pain; and 3) Highlight how the prevailing psychosocial treatments for chronic pain address PA in the therapeutic context, and offer suggestions for how future treatment development research can maximize the benefit of PA for patients with chronic pain. To that end, we review experimental studies that have assessed the association of evoked PA and pain sensitivity, as well as clinical studies that have assessed the association of naturally occurring PA and clinical pain in the context of chronic pain. The evidence suggests PA influences pain, over and above the influence of NA. We offer an “upward spiral” model of positive affect, resilience and pain self-management, which makes specific predictions that PA will buffer maladaptive cognitive and affective responses to pain, and promote active engagement in valued goals that enhance chronic pain self-management.

“…Studien zeigten, als "unschön" empfundene Musik die Aktivität der Nozizeptoren sowie die Reflexantwort auf einen Schmerzreiz eher verstärkt. [59] Nur die favorisierte, als "schön" empfundene Musik bewirkt hier einen lindernden Effekt. Unter fMRT-Kontrolle konnte gezeigt werden, dass eine als besonders angenehm empfundene Musik die neuronale Aktivität im Gyrus cinguli hemmt und die Schmerz-Perzeption deutlich verändert [24].…”

Purpose of this essay is to provide a historical overview how music has dealt with the emotion and sensation of pain, as well as an overview over the more recent medical research into the relationship of music and pain. Since the beginnings of western music humans have put their emotions into musical sounds. During the baroque era, composers developed musical styles that expressed human emotions and our experiences of nature. In some compositions, like in operas, we find musical representations of pain. During Romanticism artists began to intrude into the soul of their audience. New expressive harmonies and styles touch the soul and the consciousness of the listener. With the inception of atonality dissonant sounds where experienced as a physical pain.The physiology of deep brain structures (like thalamus, hypothalamus or limbic system) and the physiology of the acoustic pathway process consonant and dissonant sound and musical perceptions in ways, that are similar to the perception of pain. In the thalamus and in the limbic system music and pain meet.The relationships of music and pain is a wide open research field with such interesting questions as the role of dopamine in the perception of consonant or dissonant music, or the processing of pain during music listening. Musicology has not yet embarked on a general investigation of how musical compositions express pain and how that has developed or changed over the centuries. Music therapy, neuro-musicology and the performing arts medicine are scientific fields that offer a lot of ideas for medical and musical research projects.
