Music interferes with expectation-induced pain modulation: a controlled cross-over experimental study
This study highlights the multiplicity of processes contributing to music-induced analgesia and suggests that music may help improve pain management in the context of high pain expectation and anxiety. However, music may also interfere with pain-relieving strategies involving the induction of low pain expectations.
