This page describes a binaural-beat track made for pain relief. Binaural beats are an auditory illusion: when a slightly different tone plays in each ear through headphones, the brain perceives a third, pulsing tone.
Claims about binaural beats come from the binaural-beat and sound-healing tradition. They are not established medical findings, and this audio is not a treatment for pain or any other condition. Any effect varies from person to person and may be small or absent. It complements, and does not replace, care from a doctor or other health professional.
How Binaural Beats Are Said to Help with Pain Relief
Healthline’s overview of binaural beats says some people believe that when a binaural beat introduces a new frequency, the brain’s waves sync to it, moving you into a different “brain state.” It describes five types of brain waves. Low-frequency waves are linked to “delta” and “theta” states, associated with relaxation and sleep. Higher frequencies are reported to move the brain toward a “gamma” state, which may relate to alertness, focus or memory recall, and mid-range frequencies have been linked to attention. An “alpha” state is described as attention turned inward, as in meditation, and a “beta” state as attention tuned to the world around you. Source: Healthline.com
That passage describes brain-wave states in general. It does not say binaural beats reduce pain, and this page offers no study showing that they do. If pain is persistent, new or severe, a doctor can help.
