Music may beat gas for needle jitters in back pain treatment

NCT ID NCT06928740

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

Summary

This study tests whether listening to music through a special app (Music Care®) can calm anxiety as well as a gas mixture (EMONO) during a CT-guided injection for low back pain. The gas can cause nausea and dizziness, and the music app has no side effects. Researchers will compare anxiety levels in 128 patients to see if music is a good alternative.

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a simple, non-invasive way to reduce anxiety during medical procedures without the side effects of gas.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage study (128 people) testing if music is as good as gas, not better. Results may not apply to other procedures or settings.
