| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Pain plays a crucial role on the body, but it causes stress. We examined the reduction of the pain perception by using music. 45 subjects were investigated for pain thresholds on the forearm and 4 oral areas while listening to three musics. The autonomic nervous activity of ten subjects were measured using Bonaly Light while listening to music. Furthermore, the blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) signals in the cingulate cortex were analyzed using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), when eight subjects were given electrical stimulation on their ankles while listening to music. The thresholds of pain were significantly higher when the subjects were listening to slow music than those without music. In the fMRI study, BOLD signals were attenuated by listening to music. Parasympathetic nervous activity values increased significantly under listening to music compared with no music. The present findings suggest that listening to music is capable of reducing pain perception.
