Group of Music Production Schools Team Up With Medical Institute for New Pain Relief Discovery

It is estimated that people in the United States spend millions of dollars on products, medications and other things that claim to offer pain relief. While some products may work, most do not.

Seattle, WA (prHWY.com) January 22, 2013 - It is estimated that people in the United States spend millions of dollars on products, medications and other things that claim to offer pain relief. While some products may work, most do not. This inability to find a product or medicine that works has prompted a group of local music production schools to team up with the local medical institute to discover a new way to relieve pain.

"We were approached by the local medical institute in the area and asked if we would help out with a new form of medical research", explained the director for the local group of music production schools. "Normally we don't go in for this thing, but the medical research was directly related to music. So, my staff and I believed it would be beneficial to the students to join in the project."

The medical institute and its researchers believe that there is a direct connection between the type of music pain patients listen to and how much pain they feel. The music production schools will be responsible for creating track lists of a variety of different types of music.

"What we've tasked the students at the music production schools with is the ability to create a track list of music that contains different genres of music", explained Thomas Gates, head of the research project. "This will allow us to give different tracks to the patients and see how they respond to their pain management."

The students at the music production schools are really excited about taking part in the project. There will be over 50 different students working to create a track listing for the patients.

"I am really curious to see the results", said Steven Moore, a student at the music production school. "I had an aunt who suffered from extreme pain for several years. She tried everything and couldn't seem to find something that would relieve the pain. I hope this project and research can help others."

The preliminary results from the medical research seem promising. It appears as if many patients are responding to relaxing or calming music, while others are just responding to the presence of music.

"I am not sure what is helping", explained Gates. "It could just be the idea that the patients are relaxing more when they listen to music, or it could be the type of music they listen to during their therapy. That is something we hope to explore, but we are really on to something that could help anyone who suffers from chronic pain."
