Relaxation Music for Chronic Pain
NCT06993272 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
Chronic pain is a common complaint in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Compounding these concerns, opioid analgesics are frequently used to treat severe acute pain. An estimated 30% of chronic pain patients due to IBD report opioid use. Those who continue to use opioids can develop opioid misuse, and opioid misuse portends addiction and overdose so there is a need for better, non-addictive treatment options. Music interventions effectively reduce pain and pain-related symptomology. Meta-analytic results indicate listening to music can reduce acute and chronic pain. Music listening also decreases emotional distress from pain as well as the use of pain medication. Music interventions have demonstrated these positive effects on pain across a number of settings, including surgical, in-patient, and community settings. Importantly, due to the ubiquity of music - especially freely available online music - music interventions are easily accessible and highly scalable.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT06993272
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT06993272 describes a study currently listed as active not recruiting. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 120 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of California, Irvine, which has 353 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 2 conditions, with IBS - Irritable Bowel Syndrome appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 4 interventions — of which MIndful Jazz is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT06993272 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include California. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
