Study Groups

Virtual Reality for distraction
The application of VR during the putative painful treatment (botulinum toxin injections) will provide a) active and engaging distraction during the procedure, and will b) block the view and auditory noise related to the procedure.
Virtual Reality
Participants will have the opportunity to choose a game or relaxation experience to utilize during a botulinum toxin injection to distract from pain and anxiety during one visit. Virtual Reality will not be available during the other visit. AppliedVR has a number of games and relaxation experiences available for participants to chose from.
Standard of Care
Patients will receive the standard of care for the putative painful treatment (botulinum toxin injections).
