Summary

This study will test whether listening to 60 minutes of instrumental Turkish classical music can reduce pain, improve neck awareness, and enhance balance in 19 adults with chronic neck pain. Participants will listen once, and their pain and balance will be measured before and after. The goal is to see if music therapy could be a cheap, safe addition to standard care.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
music therapy (instrumental Turkish Classical Music in Nihavend mode)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, low-cost, drug-free way to ease chronic neck pain and improve balance.
What could go wrong
This is a very small early study with only 19 people and no control group, so results may not be reliable or apply to everyone. The effect may be small or temporary.
