ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how making different sounds, like shouting or laughing, can affect how much pain a person can handle. Researchers want to understand the role of these non-verbal sounds in our lives and how they might help us cope with pain. They are currently recruiting healthy adults aged 18 to 65 who are willing to participate.

To join the study, participants need to be in good health and agree to the terms of the trial after getting detailed information about it. However, individuals with certain health issues, such as chronic pain, high blood pressure, or neurological conditions, won't be eligible. If you choose to participate, you'll be contributing to important research that could help us learn more about the connection between vocal expressions and pain tolerance.
