This sensation is widely reported to be  accompanied by feelings of relaxation and well-being. The current study identifies  several common triggers used to achieve ASMR, including whispering, personal  attention, crisp sounds and slow movements. Data obtained also illustrates temporary  improvements in symptoms of depression and chronic pain in those who engage in ASMR.  A high prevalence of synaesthesia (5.9\%) within the sample suggests a possible link  between ASMR and synaesthesia, similar to that of misophonia. Links between number  of effective triggers and heightened flow state suggest that flow may be necessary  to achieve sensations associated with ASMR.},
