Music is a form of distraction that has been shown to reduce pain and anxiety by allowing the patient to focus on something other than pain.Guided imagery uses auditory and imaginary processes to help the patient to relax.In sequential muscle relaxation,the patient sits and tenses muscles for 15 seconds and then relaxes the muscles while breathing out.This relaxation technique has also been effective for relieving pain.Hypnosis involves the induction of a deeply relaxed state.
