Feasibility and Evaluation of Personalized Music Intervention for Pain, Anxiety, and Well-being in Chronic Pain Patients

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness of a personalized music program to help individuals with chronic pain. The study aims to see if this music intervention can reduce combined pain, anxiety, and well-being scores, using the Edmonton symptom assessment scale (ESAS-r). They want to find out if improvements after the music sessions are greater than those seen in participants who do not receive the intervention. The study will last four weeks with 36 participants divided into two groups. The first group receives personalized music sessions in person once per week for the first two weeks and then accesses online music sessions for the next two weeks. Some sessions include a brief relaxation period focused on breathing and self-absorption before listening to music chosen by participants. The control group measures their symptoms 20 minutes apart weekly for two weeks without music and then listens to online music sessions once per week for two weeks. Participants will assess their pain, anxiety, and well-being before and after each session. Researchers will track changes immediately after sessions and compare results between groups. They will also study differences between in-person and online music interventions, participant adherence to online sessions, and participants' experiences during sessions. At the end, both groups will be interviewed to gather feedback about the interventions.
