Resumen:
Scientific evidence has shown that listening to music reduces pain perception, but there is little evidence of the mechanisms involved in this effect. To understand the underlying mechanisms of the so-called ?music-induced analgesia,? it is necessary to merge the knowledge about how pain is processed and how music affects the brain. Pain is a complicated entity that has different domains (e.g., physical, emotional) and is processed and modulated by several brain areas involved in more functions than pain (e.g., frontal lobe). Listening to music is also a complicated process that involves different domains and neurotransmitters, and brain areas not only specialized for sound perception, but also involved in emotion and cognition. Music-induced analgesia seems to be an effect secondary to emotional and cognitive mechanisms such as distraction, control, placebo and pleasure, and not the music itself. Further research in this area should be focused on finding the precise mechanisms for the analgesic effect and on refining the characteristics of the music experience for it to be applied successfully in the clinical fields. © 2016 by Nova Science Publishers, Inc.
