Music as medicine? study tests levantine tunes against pain

NCT ID NCT07496866

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This pilot study looks at whether listening to self-selected Levantine music can change how sensitive healthy young adults are to pressure pain, compared to silence. Twelve Lebanese university students will have their pain threshold and mood measured before and after each condition. The goal is to see if music can be a simple, drug-free way to help manage pain.
