Study Summary
Patients with fibromyalgia (FM) are more sensitive to things that cause pain. Music lowers self-reported pain in patients with chronic pain. The investigators are able to measure pain sensitivity and pain tolerance using tools that cause pain and give accurate measurements of how much pressure is put on the body (QST). Previous studies have shown that after a few minutes of listening to music patients with FM have less self-reported pain, can get up and move from sitting more quickly, and have more activity in part of the brain that tells the body to stop sending pain signals. The investigators will study 40 patients with FM using the QST tools. All patients will have testing done as usual, with no sound. Then half of the patients will have testing done while listening to instrumental Classical music, and the other half will have testing done while listening to nature sounds. The investigators will test 1) whether listening to anything lessens pain compared to listening to nothing at all; and 2) whether listening to music lessens pain more than listening to nature sounds. Our study will be the first to study whether objectively measured pain sensitivity is less while listening to music in these patients.
Primary Outcome
Pain threshold summation as measured by the quantitative sensory testing (QST) battery. Pain is rated subjectively on a 0-100 scale with 0 being no pain and 100 being the worst pain imaginable. Summation is calculated as the difference in pain score between a single stimulus and a series of 10 stimuli with larger values indicating more severe summation.
