Binaural beats for athlete recovery and fear of movement
Part of Mental health, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether listening to special audio tones called binaural beats can help professional athletes who have had a leg injury feel less afraid of moving again and improve their fitness. It looks at how the body's nervous system responds to these tones during recovery.
