NCT ID NCT05442086

First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested whether listening to calm music combined with low-frequency beats (theta waves) can reduce anxiety. 92 young adults with mild anxiety listened to either the music-plus-beats or plain pink noise for about 25 minutes. Researchers measured brain activity, heart rate, stress hormones, and self-reported anxiety before and after. The goal was to see if the special sound treatment leads to greater relaxation than noise alone.
