Binaural beat music for pain after orthodontic separators
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether listening to music with special binaural beats (a type of audio that may affect brainwaves) can help reduce pain after getting separators placed for braces. You would listen to the music using headphones for 10 minutes after the procedure and rate your pain level.
