Music before the snap: could tunes take the edge off wrist fracture pain?
NCT ID NCT07344883
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether listening to music for 20 minutes before a wrist fracture reduction can lower pain and stress. 192 adults will be randomly assigned to hear their favorite music, a therapist-chosen song, or no music. Researchers will measure pain scores, heart rate, and blood pressure to see if music helps.

- music
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could give doctors a simple, drug-free way to help patients feel less pain and stress during fracture treatment.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial. Music may not reduce pain significantly, and results may not apply to all patients or settings.
