Summary

This study tests whether listening to spatial audio (a 3D sound experience) can help healthy adults tolerate heat pain better. Participants will have heat applied to their skin and rate their pain with and without the audio. The goal is to see if this non-invasive technique can ease discomfort, but the study was withdrawn before enrolling anyone.
