Are you in Pain?
Want to investigate the reasons behind your pain? Enjoy
music? Get involved in a ground-breaking national study…
Do you suffer from Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) or
Osteoarthritis? Or are you a healthy person with an interest
in the power of music? If so, can you spare 15 minutes a day
just to listen to music?
What is required? Just 15 minutes per day For up to 6 weeks
Varying levels of commitment No travelling required Take
part from home No costs incurred
Must have: Personal Computer (PC) E-mail and internet access
Enough energy to relax and listen!
Recent studies show that there has been a surge in interest
in the use of music as a method of post-operative pain
reduction. Following surgery, patients who listen to or are
involved in music have been shown to have reduced pain
levels. Similarly, in clinical studies where music is played
during surgery, patients have been found to need smaller
dosages of emergency morphine. These results are exciting
and confirm that music can have very powerful effects in
alleviating post-operative pain.
However, there has been virtually no research on the effects
of music on chronic pain, such as that experienced by RSI
and osteoarthritis sufferers. I am just beginning a study
into chronic pain – RSI and osteoarthritis – and music
listening at Keele University and am looking for people who
are willing to help.
