Résumé
Low back pain (LBP) is a complex condition that is widespread among older Black adults. Nonpharmacologic interventions are recommended as first-line therapy, but their use in practice is limited, possibly due to misunderstanding of their analgesic characteristics. To determine the feasibility and acceptability of listening to preferred music at home to relieve pain in older Black adults aged 65 years or older with LBP. We recruited 20 community-dwelling older adults (≥65 years) with LBP to use noise-isolating headphones to listen to their preferred music for 20 minutes twice daily for four days via the MUSIC CARE® app. Feasibility was determined using enrollment, adherence, and attrition rates, and acceptability was determined using the Treatment Acceptance and Preference (TAP) scale. Average pain scores were self-reported using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) after the second intervention of the day. Pain scores were evaluated using paired sample t test and repeated-measures ANOVA. Enrollment, adherence, and attrition rates were 95.25%, 100.00%, and 0.00%, respectively. Most participants rated the TAP scale at ≥3, indicating acceptance. Pain scores decreased significantly from baseline (M = 46.90, SD = 21.47) to post-intervention (M = 35.70, SD = 16.57), t (19) = 2.29, p = .03. Repeated measures ANOVA showed a significant decrease in mean pain scores over time [F (2.36, 44.88) = 5.61, p = .004, η Listening to preferred music for 20 minutes twice a day is a feasible and acceptable intervention that can considerably reduce pain in older Black adults with LBP.

BACKGROUND
Low back pain (LBP) is a complex condition that is widespread among older Black adults. Nonpharmacologic interventions are recommended as first-line therapy, but their use in practice is limited, possibly due to misunderstanding of their analgesic characteristics.
AIM
To determine the feasibility and acceptability of listening to preferred music at home to relieve pain in older Black adults aged 65 years or older with LBP.
METHOD
We recruited 20 community-dwelling older adults (≥65 years) with LBP to use noise-isolating headphones to listen to their preferred music for 20 minutes twice daily for four days via the MUSIC CARE® app. Feasibility was determined using enrollment, adherence, and attrition rates, and acceptability was determined using the Treatment Acceptance and Preference (TAP) scale. Average pain scores were self-reported using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) after the second intervention of the day. Pain scores were evaluated using paired sample t test and repeated-measures ANOVA.
RESULTS
Enrollment, adherence, and attrition rates were 95.25%, 100.00%, and 0.00%, respectively. Most participants rated the TAP scale at ≥3, indicating acceptance. Pain scores decreased significantly from baseline (M = 46.90, SD = 21.47) to post-intervention (M = 35.70, SD = 16.57), t (19) = 2.29, p = .03. Repeated measures ANOVA showed a significant decrease in mean pain scores over time [F (2.36, 44.88) = 5.61, p = .004, η
CONCLUSIONS
Listening to preferred music for 20 minutes twice a day is a feasible and acceptable intervention that can considerably reduce pain in older Black adults with LBP.
