  • Canadian researchers find that music that elicits goosebumps or intense feelings and reactions in an individual can lower their pain.   Here's what we know:
  1. McGill University scientists say our favorite tunes can have a painkilling effect
  2. Beloved music approximates the pain reduction at 1-point on a 10-point scale
  3. That's about the same amount of pain relief as most over-the-counter pain medications deliver
  4. Moving music that is particularly impactful on the individual has an even stronger effect than 1-point in 10-points
  5. The study was done on 63 participants using a probe to heat an area of the arm
  6. While listening to various music tracks, participants rated pain
  7. Results:  music eliciting more chills and of great meaning and impact to the individual produced lower pain intensity
  • Next time you're in pain, you may want to pass by the pharmacy and hit the CD shop.
