Music can ease someone's pain—but only when it's played like this
Music Can Ease the Pain
The researchers injected the mice’s paws with a solution that caused inflammation and then, while exposing them to music as well as to a white noise source, prodded their paws with thin filaments and observed their response to the painful stimulus . As in previous studies, exposure to music reduced the mice’s sensitivity to pain.
Surprisingly, the type of music to which the mice were exposed, whether pleasant or otherwise, made no difference in the mice’s response. Nor did the substitution of white noise for music. The mice's response to the pain stimulus was identical in the presence of all three types of sound. The intensity at which the music and white noise were played, however, did make a difference in the mice's response to the pain stimulus.
