An international team of scientists has identified the neural mechanisms through which sound blunts pain in mice. The newly reported research, led by teams at the National Institute of Dental and ...

Pain is more than a direct response to physical injury. It is a multifaceted experience that includes emotional and sensory components. Psychological stress, including exposure to others in pain, has ...

An international team of scientists has identified the neural mechanisms through which sound blunts pain in mice. The findings, which could inform development of safer methods to treat pain, were ...

Pain is an important physiological response in living organisms. While physical pain is an outcome of tissue damage, pain can manifest as diverse unpleasant sensory and emotional experiences. Many ...

New research in mice demonstrates that pain relief by sound is not purely attributable to stress reduction and distraction; the study reveals a neural circuit underlying sound-induced analgesia in the ...

People often think of pharmaceutical treatments and meditation to ease physical pain, but pain can be alleviated with music therapy. A study published in Science explored the neural circuits in the ...

About 20% of all adults around the world live with chronic pain. Researchers from the University of Minnesota discovered via an animal model that the combination of electrical and sound stimulation ...
