What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study tests whether listening to music with binaural beats (a type of sound that may influence brain activity) can help professional athletes who are afraid of getting hurt again after a musculoskeletal injury. Sixty-six athletes will listen to either binaural beat music, a placebo, or regular music before training for four weeks. Researchers will measure changes in stress responses, fear of movement, and fitness levels.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
binaural beats auditory stimulation
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, drug-free way to help athletes overcome fear of re-injury and improve their recovery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study (66 participants) testing a non-standard intervention. Results may not apply broadly, and the effect may be no better than placebo.
