Listening to music can help soothe those people suffering persistent pain, a new study has revealed.
Research from LloydsPharmacy showed that more than 40 percent of respondents, who suffer chronic pain, believe music helps to reduce their suffering.
Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon and Garfunkel, Angels by Robbie Williams and Albatross by Fleetwood Mac were thought to be the most effective songs to listen to.
21 percent of respondents said pop music was the most popular genre of music while 17 percent saying classical was the most beneficial.
Andrew Mawhinney from LloydsPharmacy said: ‘There are lots of different ways of managing pain, not only with medicines but also with lifestyle changes such as moderate exercise and relaxation.
‘After speaking to many people who are living with pain we were interested to learn just how many found music beneficial, which is why we're now trialing the use of music within our pain service in some of our pharmacies.’
The study quizzed 1,500 people from across the UK. An estimated ten million people are believed to suffer from some form of pain every day.
