NCT ID NCT07391891
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will test whether teaching patients to mindfully listen to jazz music for 15 minutes can lower their pain while they wait in the emergency department. The researchers will enroll 60 adults with neck or back pain and compare the music approach to a standard mindful pain management video. The goal is to find a safe, non-drug way to ease pain and possibly reduce opioid use.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, drug-free way to ease pain in the emergency room and reduce the need for opioids.
What could go wrong
This is a very small early study (60 people) testing a short-term intervention, so results may not apply broadly. Pain relief from music may be modest or not work for everyone.
