Summary

The purpose of this study is to understand the use of brief, personalized music interventions to decrease pain. Persisting and recurring pain is devastating to individuals and society. The worry and anxiety people feel while experiencing chronic pain may increase how much pain they feel. Enjoyable music feels good and affects brain chemicals in a way that can lessen feelings of pain. Music that feels good can also lower the anxiety and worry that accompany chronic pain which may play a role in the pain relief music provides.

Smartphone-based Music Intervention

The smartphone-based music intervention (Unwind) is a music protocol that gathers basic information from the patient including a 0-10 pain scale and 0-10 anxiety scale as well as recorded heart rate. Using these variables, a machine learning protocol pieces together a music intervention between 5-20 minutes long. The duration of the intervention can be controlled by the patient or experimenter. No identifying data is kept on the smartphone.
