Cortical Alpha Dynamics Underlying Emotional Music-induced Analgesia

The webinar "Cortical Alpha Dynamics Underlying Emotional Music-induced Analgesia in Knee Osteoarthritis Versus Healthy Controls" presented by Dr. Dan Wang, a postdoctoral research fellow in the Human Brain Function Lab within the Department of Neurosurgery at the University of Virginia School of Medicine. Dr. Wang has extensive research experience in pain management and is also a clinically trained physical therapist. Her research focuses on elucidating the brain mechanisms underlying pain modulation and on identifying neurophysiological biomarkers to advance personalized pain management. In this webinar, she discussed evidence showing that positive music reduces pain intensity in both healthy individuals and people with knee osteoarthritis (KOA), but through different neural mechanisms: in healthy controls, music enhances thalamocortical gating and early sensory filtering of nociceptive input, whereas in KOA patients, music-induced analgesia primarily involves downstream evaluative and reward-related networks that modulate pain after sensory encoding.
