Tests how unpleasant sounds change pain tolerance
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether hearing unpleasant, non-verbal sounds changes how much pain you can tolerate. It may help researchers understand how stress and sound affect pain experiences.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at whether nonverbal vocal sounds (like certain tones or sounds) change how much pain you can tolerate. You might be asked to listen to or produce sounds while your pain response is measured.
This study looks at how people remember pain over time. It enrolls healthy adults so researchers can better understand the long-term effects of painful experiences.
This research study tests how different medications affect pain sensations in healthy volunteers. Researchers use safe, temporary pain-inducing methods (like ice water and heat) during screening and the study to measure how your body responds, helping them understand pain better.
This study looks at how beliefs, mood, and social factors affect how people express and judge pain. It mainly uses pain/heat testing and—if chosen—brain scans to understand why pain reports can differ between people.
This study tests how people sense heat and pain, and how the brain and emotions may influence that experience. It is designed for healthy adults and may involve training sessions and (for some parts) MRI scanning.
This trial tests how your body's natural pain control responds to cold. You'll have a cold sensation applied to your skin to see how well your body can block pain without medication.
