What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, drug-free way to help chronic pain patients feel less anxious and more comfortable during procedures.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 110 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Music therapy may not significantly reduce pain or anxiety for all patients.
