Acute Effect of Sound Healing on Pain, Fatigue and Mood: A Retrospective Community Based Study

There is evidence that sound healing improves health and well-being. However, sound healing modalities, such as tuning forks, continue to be understudied, especially among people with chronic illnesses. This study examined responses to a single session of sound healing and explored whether responses varied based on analogue pain, fatigue, and mood.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
Tuning for Health
Community based group 'Tuning for Health' was set up to provide chronic condition self-management support to people. Trained, experienced therapist-led group used half an hour of sound healing in virtual session.
Other: Sound healing with tuning forks
Over the course of a half-hour virtual session, a specially developed "triple OM track" created by tuning forks was played.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in Pain Intensity
Time Frame: From baseline to 30-minutes post intervention
Visual Analogical Scale (VAS) from 0 to 10 scores where 0 describes no pain and 10 worst pain.
From baseline to 30-minutes post intervention
Change in Fatigue
Time Frame: From baseline to 30-minutes post intervention
Visual Analogue Scale for Fatigue (VAS-F) with18 items relating to the subjective experience of fatigue, with each item representing how they currently feel along a visual analogue scale extending between two extremes (e.g., "not at all tired" to "extremely tired").
From baseline to 30-minutes post intervention
Change in Mood
Time Frame: From baseline to 30-minutes post intervention
Visual Analogue Mood Scale using vertical 100 mm lines and schematic faces representing the following mood states: sad, afraid, angry, tired, energetic, happy, and confused.
From baseline to 30-minutes post intervention

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Patients Satisfaction
Time Frame: From baseline to 30-minutes post intervention
Patients Satisfaction was measured using 5-Linkert Scale (Very dissatisfied, Somewhat dissatisfied, Neutral, Somewhat satisfied, Very satisfied)
From baseline to 30-minutes post intervention
