Sounds without words may change pain tolerance
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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.
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 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 cold temperature can reduce pain in healthy adults. It may help researchers develop better pain treatments.
This study tests how healthy adults respond to different types of pain, such as heat, cold, and a substance that causes a mild burning feeling. The results may help researchers better understand pain and could guide future pain treatments.
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.
