Entertainment and Relaxation

Relaxation therapy, guided imagery, hypnosis, music, and other techniques, can also help to ease discomfort and fear.

When you are relaxed, the procedures are less painful. Often a combination of pain medicine and relaxation techniques is used.

Ask your treatment team to help guide you through relaxation exercises both before and during the procedures. Or visit one of the following local establishments for guidance.
