A new study on mice shows how turning up the tunes might be able to help the body tolerate physical pain more easily
. Still, we don’t know much about its mechanism—we know that sound can provide physiological benefits, but not how., reveals a recipe for leveraging music as a potential pain reliever and providing a low-cost, widely accessible alternative to traditional pharmaceuticals.
The team went on to play sounds at levels slightly higher than background noise and observed what kinds of effects these sounds had on the mice’s pain tolerance. It seems like the mice weren’t music snobs: They reacted equally to classical music, dissonant music, and white noise when each was played 5 decibels louder than ambient noise.
“In the future, these findings could spur the development of alternative interventions for treating pain,” the authors wrote in the new paper. They also speculated that the secret sauce that explains the 5-decibel effect was its ability to trigger defensive instincts in the mice. If so, a fight-or-flight response would have lowered their perceptions of pain as the mice focused on more pressing concerns, like avoiding a potential threat. “From an evolutionary perspective, it makes sense that sound-driven defense behaviors are acutely accompanied by pain suppression,” the Kuners wrote.
