Sound healing with tuning forks

Brief summary

There is evidence that sound healing improves health and well-being. However, sound healing modalities, such as tuning forks, continue to be understudied, especially among people with chronic illnesses. This study examined responses to a single session of sound healing and explored whether responses varied based on analogue pain, fatigue, and mood.

Interventions

Primary

Measure	Time frame	Description
Change in Pain Intensity	From baseline to 30-minutes post intervention	Visual Analogical Scale (VAS) from 0 to 10 scores where 0 describes no pain and 10 worst pain.
Change in Fatigue	From baseline to 30-minutes post intervention	Visual Analogue Scale for Fatigue (VAS-F) with18 items relating to the subjective experience of fatigue, with each item representing how they currently feel along a visual analogue scale extending between two extremes (e.g., not at all tired to extremely tired).
Change in Mood	From baseline to 30-minutes post intervention	Visual Analogue Mood Scale using vertical 100 mm lines and schematic faces representing the following mood states: sad, afraid, angry, tired, energetic, happy, and confused.
