Interventions
Sound therapy associated with relaxation
Each patient will attend a total of 3 sessions of about 15 minutes each, once by week. Sessions will start with relaxation. Then, sound therapy will be delivered using weighted medical tuning forks which resonate at a specific frequency. At the end of the session, the patient will be invited to take a short rest.
Relaxation alone
Each patient will attend a total of 3 sessions of about 15 minutes each, once by week. The procedure will be exactly the same than the other arm (relaxation, rest time), but the operator will not activate any tuning fork (so there will be no sound delivered during the session).
