What is audioanalgesia?

Audioanalgesia is the use of music or sound therapy to alleviate pain. It is a non-invasive and drug-free method that can be used to treat chronic pain conditions such as fibromyalgia, arthritis, and back pain. The practice of audioanalgesia involves listening to carefully selected music or white noise, which can help the body produce endorphins, the body's natural painkillers, as well as relieve stress and tension. It is believed that the rhythmic pattern and frequency of music can alter brainwaves and induce a state of relaxation, which can lead to pain relief. Audioanalgesia is often used in conjunction with other pain management therapies, such as physical therapy or medication, to enhance the effectiveness of pain management.
