This trial is enrolling 80 participants with spinal cord injury or other central neurological damage, who receive regular botulinum toxin (Botox) injections, to test the effect of a personalized music intervention on injection-induced stress. Botox injections are a painful treatment frequently used to reduce spasticity following central neurological damage. If included, participants will be randomly assigned to receive Botox injections either with or without music before their first session, followed by a second session with music for all participants. Final testing of stress will be performed after 4 months.
