Music intervention in person
The music intervention consists of listening to two or three pieces of music chosen by each participant that bring them a sense of well-being. One of the two music intervention sessions will be preceded by a moment of relaxation, during which participants will be asked to focus their attention on their breathing, on relaxation, and on the process of self-absorption. This intervention, preceded by a brief moment of relaxation, will take place during the first session for half of the participants and during the second session for the other half.

About This Trial
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the efficacy of a personalized music intervention program to improve the condition of individuals suffering from chronic pain. The main objective is to evaluate if the intervention program will significantly reduce participants composite score of pain, anxiety, and well-being (reversed) as evaluated by the Edmonton symptom assessment scale (ESAS-r) immediately after the intervention, and whether this improvement will be significantly greater than that of control sessions.
