Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of the project is to determine the feasibility of delivering a Singing for Chronic Pain (SCP) programme to patients with chronic pain attending a pain clinic.

The investigator will also be looking to provide a preliminary estimate of the benefit of SCP on self-efficacy, self -management skills, mindfulness and well-being as measured by standardized outcome measures.

Study Groups

Intevention

To see if singing can be used as a detractive method from patients experiencing ongoing pain.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Singing

Intervention Type OTHER

To investigate whether singing can help people to manage their chronic pain the applicants, working together with people with chronic pain, have developed a singing intervention, Singing for Chronic Pain (SCP). The development of the programme has been supported by Snape Moultings, an international centre for the arts which offered the team a residency to develop the programme (https://snapemaltings.co.uk/music/residencies/). The model takes a holistic approach using voice and singing, movement, sound, mindfulness and breath work to provide opportunities to connect body, voice, breath and mind. This is important given that people often use body dissociation as a way to cope with physical pain
