Music Therapy During Botulinum Injections

The music therapy intervention will consist of approximately 30 minutes of active music making and/or improvisation. The session will begin at least 15 minutes prior to receiving the Botox injections, followed by the necessary time of the procedure and 10 minutes following. During this time the patient will be encouraged to actively engage in a musical activity of his/her choice. After the last injection has been administered, the monitoring and music therapy will continue for up to 10 minutes, and focus on soothing and relaxation rather than on distraction.
