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.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older who are experiencing chronic pain and are actively attending a pain clinic.
Not a fit: Patients who do not understand French or cannot travel to the study location may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this intervention could provide a non-pharmacological approach to alleviate chronic pain and improve overall well-being.
How similar studies have performed: While the use of music interventions in pain management is gaining interest, this specific approach is relatively novel and has not been extensively tested in similar trials.
