Summary

This pilot study from Yale University will test whether a 4-week music-listening program can reduce abdominal pain in 30 adults with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). Participants will listen to music for 20 minutes twice a day, at least five days a week, while wearing a smartwatch and abdominal sensor belt to track pain, stress, and gut health. The goal is to understand how music might calm pain signals and improve quality of life for people with IBS.
