Music for pain relief

“…For example, Gromala, Tong, Choo, Karamnejad, and Shaw (2015) investigated biofeedback in CP using virtual reality and stereoscopic sound, but their main aim was learning mindfulness skills and the physical activity was limited to walking. A few other interventions (Cepeda, Carr, & Lau, 2006) that use fun and pleasant experiences have been tried for CP, but effects are weak on average. There is potential for pleasant exercise experience for people with pain (Legrain et al, 2009), but better understanding of engagement and maintenance is needed.…”

Chronic (persistent) pain (CP) affects 1 in 10 adults; clinical resources are insufficient, and anxiety about activity restricts lives. Technological aids monitor activity but lack necessary psychological support. This article proposes a new sonification framework, Go-with-the-Flow, informed by physiotherapists and people with CP. The framework proposes articulation of user-defined sonified exercise spaces (SESs) tailored to psychological needs and physical capabilities that enhance body and movement awareness to rebuild confidence in physical activity. A smartphone-based wearable device and a Kinect-based device were designed based on the framework to track movement and breathing and sonify them during physical activity. In control studies conducted to evaluate the sonification strategies, people with CP reported increased performance, motivation, awareness of movement, and relaxation with sound feedback. Home studies, a focus group, and a survey of CP patients conducted at the end of a hospital pain management session provided an in-depth understanding of how different aspects of the SESs and their calibration can facilitate self-directed rehabilitation and how the wearable version of the device can facilitate transfer of gains from exercise to feared or demanding activities in real life. We conclude by discussing the implications of our findings on the design of technology for physical rehabilitation

“…71 Alternative therapies, such as acupuncture, exercise training, and music, may be beneficial, although they have not been studied extensively in heart failure patients. [73][74][75] Opioids should be used as first-line agents for moderate to severe pain. Combination agents, such as oxycodone/acetaminophen, are generally not recommended because the adjuvant agents may prevent dose escalation.…”

Palliative Care in the Treatment of Advanced Heart Failure

et al. 2009

H eart failure is epidemic in developed countries and is expanding rapidly worldwide. Roughly 5% of patients with heart failure have end-stage disease that is refractory to medical therapy (stage D heart failure). 1 Palliative care consultation relieves symptoms, improves patient satisfaction, and decreases the costs of care for these patients. Despite this, only a small fraction of end-stage heart failure patients receive palliative care consultation. In recognition of this, palliative/hospice care referral was recommended for endstage heart failure (Level of Evidence 1A) in the most recent American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association heart failure guidelines. 2 To identify evidence-based studies of palliative care in heart failure, we searched the Medline database for literature with the medical subject headings "heart failure" and "palliative care," "supportive care," or "symptom management" and found 394 results. We identified 92 systematic reviews, 44 of which were English-language systematic reviews published within the past 5 years.
