Music can take the pain away very easy

A recent study by the University of Glasgow Caledonia found that people listening to your favorite music felt less pain and can stand for a longer period.

Pain researcher Laura Mitchell is measured by how people react to pain with various forms of madness, including relaxing music to listen to audio with a sense of humor, doing math puzzles, and looking at art.

As she told the CBC in the Q cultural affairs show, the music stimulus, the majority as to keep the minds of people in pain.

"My favorite music came out constantly, even to the extent that I was very surprised at the development of these studies is extremely efficient in how people can tolerate pain, and in fact, reduce the pain, how they feel," said Mitchell.

But not just any music - this is not the relaxing jazz playing in the dentist's office or the classic pipeline in the clinic waiting room, which makes a good man, but their personal favorite.

"I did it at the present time about 400 people ... and do not seem to be anything in common between the pieces, which they bring," said Mitchell.

"I was Smashing pumpkins on Kylie Minogue in the fate of the child pop up, old-fashioned rock right on the techno-dance music that most people will find themselves really quite painful."

In January, Mitchell published a study in the journal Psychology of aesthetics, creativity and art, showing a significant effect of music on pain.

It is used by the test assumes that people are asked to moisten your hands to the wrist in cold water, and keep it there as long as they can tolerate it. The test is done only in healthy people, and there is an upper limit on the time they keep their hands in the cold bath.

"We are looking for whether the music will have an impact on human tolerance of pain - how long they can tolerate a painful stimulus, and will reduce the actual sense, the actual perception of pain for them and whether this will lead to a reduction in anxiety human pain and whether it helps them feel a little bit to control the pain they are experiencing, "she said.

People have reported their ability to distract themselves from pain, two times more than if they were to listen to your favorite music, and their perception of worth more than they think, fell significantly.

Mitchell, who studies the art of governance and for eight years, believes that the emotional associations, which have reduced music to human perception of pain.

"This is a distraction from the music that you love, and you have a relationship with. And you're so emotionally tied to it, you're so emotionally involved that it can actually take the pain away," she said.
