Binaural Beats Dysmenorrhea And Sleep Quality

Binaural beats are based on creating a physiological response by applying sound at different frequencies to both ears. The brain perceives the sound given at different frequencies to both ears as a single frequency. The perception of different frequency sounds as a single frequency is called binaural integration. EEG studies suggest that binaural beats can affect electrocortical activity; that is, they can modulate the frequency of neuronal oscillations without requiring prior training. Binaural beats application reduces pain, anxiety, and stress and improves sleep quality in individuals. Binaural beats is a non-pharmacological application that does not require any training before application. No side effects have been reported in the studies conducted in the literature, and it is also emphasized that it is an effective, cheap, safe, and non-pharmacological application. From this point of view, this study aims to determine the effect of binaural beats on sleep quality and dysmenorrhea during menstruation.
