Forget pills-gazing at a masterpiece could be enough to ease aches and pains. Italian researchers found when people in mild pain looked at beautiful painting, their discomfort was less intense than if they looked at a blank wall. If art doesn't do it for you, try music. Surgical patients who chose music to be played before, during and after their operation needed less anaesthesia and fewer post-op painkillers.
