What this trial studies

This randomized controlled trial aims to assess the effectiveness of a personalized music intervention program for individuals suffering from chronic pain. Participants will be divided into two groups, with one receiving in-person music sessions for the first two weeks, followed by online sessions for the next two weeks, while the control group will not receive any intervention. The study will measure changes in pain, anxiety, and well-being using the Edmonton Symptom Assessment Scale (ESAS-r) before and after each session. The goal is to determine if the music intervention leads to significant improvements compared to the control group.
