Listening to music on a headset would be the most successful cognitive-behavioral pain control method for several reasons.First,in the ED,the nurse does not have time to teach clients complex modalities such as guided imagery or biofeedback.Second,clients who are anxious and in pain may not have good concentration,limiting the usefulness of video games.Playing music on a headset only requires the client to wear the headset and can be beneficial without strong concentration.A wide selection of music will make this appealing to more people.
