Binaural beats as a partial replacement for surgical fentanyl:

That is interesting, thanks.
So it looks like a bit inconclusive for now. One publication reported an effect, the other study didn't find anything.
The studies were of different things... sorry, I thought I was linking to a study and replication. Binaural beats don't replace propofol for the induction of anesthesia, but they can help lower the heart rate in such a way that less fentanyl is needed to maintain heard rate/blood pressure within norms of baseline.
The replication of this study found the same effect, though not quite as strongly.
