Regardless of any explanation, the benefits seem genuine. Barratt "really didn't expect ASMR to be therapeutically applicable," but she and Davis found otherwise in 2014. "People showed this amazing elevation in mood during ASMR, but also that mood elevation persists for a few hours after," says Davis. "It makes you happier when you're doing it and it keeps you happy."
What's more, those who were generally less happy showed a greater change. "People who are quite down are using ASMR to improve their mood," says Davis. "People with chronic pain were using it, I don't want to say to treat, but at least to distract from the pain." For those who can, ASMR may be a simple way to relieve pain and stabilise mood.
