Pain in Tones – Is it Possible to Hear the Pain Quality? A Pilot Trial

Chronic pain is widespread in the population. Approximately every fifth patient in Germany who is treated by a general practitioner suffers from pain [1]. Acute pain is a sensible alarm signal of the body to avoid tissue damage. It is limited temporally and locally and mostly has a clear underlying cause. The pain intensity depends on the stimulus intensity and usually the pain abates by healing or eliminating the underlying cause. If the pain persists for more than three months, it can become chronic.
