Acute Effect of Sound Healing on Pain, Fatigue and Mood

There is evidence that sound healing improves health and well-being. However, sound healing modalities, such as tuning forks, continue to be understudied, especially among people with chronic illnesses. This study examined responses to a single session of sound healing and explored whether responses varied based on analogue pain, fatigue, and mood.

Primary outcomes

  1. Change in Pain Intensity

    Time frame: From baseline to 30-minutes post intervention

    Visual Analogical Scale (VAS) from 0 to 10 scores where 0 describes no pain and 10 worst pain.

  2. Change in Fatigue

    Time frame: From baseline to 30-minutes post intervention

    Visual Analogue Scale for Fatigue (VAS-F) with18 items relating to the subjective experience of fatigue, with each item representing how they currently feel along a visual analogue scale extending between two extremes (e.g., "not at all tired" to "extremely tired").

  3. Change in Mood

    Time frame: From baseline to 30-minutes post intervention

    Visual Analogue Mood Scale using vertical 100 mm lines and schematic faces representing the following mood states: sad, afraid, angry, tired, energetic, happy, and confused.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Patients Satisfaction

    Time frame: From baseline to 30-minutes post intervention

    Patients Satisfaction was measured using 5-Linkert Scale (Very dissatisfied, Somewhat dissatisfied, Neutral, Somewhat satisfied, Very satisfied)
