First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary

Active substance
Jazz music listening and mindfulness
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a non-addictive, drug-free way to help manage chronic pain and anxiety at home.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage behavioral study with no blinding or control group, so results may be due to placebo or attention effects. It also only includes people with anxiety, so it may not apply to all chronic pain patients.
