The Analgesic Effect of Auditory Inputs and Its Relation to Psychological and Neurobiological Mechanisms

October 10, 2018 updated by: University of Aarhus
The study investigates the analgesic effect of different auditory inputs. Employing a within-subject design, the study includes healthy participants that are exposed to thermal stimuli while listening to three different auditory inputs. By repeating this on separate test days, the involvement of bodily processes is investigated.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Visual analogue scales
Time Frame: An average of 3 weeks (Participants are tested at three different test days across an average of 3 weeks; the primary outcome measure will be assessed after each thermal stimulus at the three test days)
Acute pain assessed on visual analogue scales (0-100) examining pain intensity and pain unpleasantness
