Resumen

INTRODUCTION: OnabotulinumtoxinA for migraine involves 31 injected repeated every 12 weeks.

Tolerability is a significant factor impacting discontinuation.

Music medicine has not been studied previously as an intervention to improve the tolerability of injections.

METHODOLOGY: A single-centre prospective cohort study was undertaken.

Following baseline, patients had music played during the procedure.

Change in Visual Analogue Score (VAS) was assessed as the primary outcome.

RESULTS: Over 6 months, 50 patients were recruited with a median age of 42, and median duration of therapy of 13.5 months.

‘Quiet calm classical music’ was associated with a significant reduction in VAS (z=−4.7, p<0.001).

Duration of therapy, disease state or headache frequency had no correlation with change in VAS.

CONCLUSION: Music medicine is associated with a significant reduction in the procedural pain of onabotulinumtoxinA injections in prospective study.

Further study is required to explore other modifiable factors to improve patient experience.
