There is evidence that sound healing improves health and well-being. However, sound healing modalities, such as tuning forks, continue to be understudied, especially among people with chronic illnesses. This study examined responses to a single session of sound healing and explored whether responses varied based on analogue pain, fatigue, and mood.
