Soothing Sounds Relaxes the Brain

Several studies have suggested that the analgesic effect of music (or music-induced analgesia) may be secondary to cognitive and emotional effects that arise from listening to music: 𝒅𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒏𝒕 𝒑𝒂𝒊𝒏, 𝒑𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒂𝒏𝒕𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒔, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒑𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒖𝒓𝒆, 𝒎𝒆𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒚-𝒆𝒗𝒐𝒌𝒆𝒅 𝒆𝒎𝒐𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒓𝒆𝒍𝒂𝒙𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 (Mitchell et al., 2006; Juslin and Västfjäll, 2008; Roy et al., 2008, 2009; Wiech and Tracey, 2009; Bernatzky et al., 2011; Salimpoor et al., 2011).

The online self-care home program @pelvicsense includes many calming audios with music (called Rewire) to help patients feel safe, soothed, and in control. Rewire may reduce the intensity of the neuroimmune system's alarm signals, elevate the brain's descending pain modulation pathway and release dopamine from the caudate and the nucleus accumbens.

They'll understand the underlying drivers of pain and practice self-care skills, including listening to soothing music to reduce the secondary suffering that typically accompanies long-standing pelvic pain.

PelvicSense is a femtech solution for your patients to take an evidence-based, active role in healing persistent pelvic pain.

Your patients will learn skills that may lower their upregulated neuroimmune system, reduce their brain's habit of being overprotective, and soften hypertonic pelvic muscles.

Incorporate this affordable femtech program into your medical care.
