Sounds of nature may soothe fibromyalgia pain, study finds

This study tested whether different types of sounds—like birdsong, traffic noise, or white noise—can reduce pain in people with fibromyalgia, a condition causing widespread pain. 88 adults with fibromyalgia listened to four different sound environments for 20 minutes each, one week apart. Researchers measured pain levels before and after each session to see if any sounds provided relief.
