Brief Hypnosis for Treatment of Painful Peripheral Neuropathy in HIV-infected Patients
The purpose of this study is to find out the effectiveness of
hypnotherapy (a form of guided meditation) in relieving the pain of
HIV-associated neuropathy. We will also try to find out whether
hypnotherapy can also help relieve other problems which people with
neuropathy often have, such as depression and anxiety. There are a
total of 9 visits over 17 weeks, which includes 3 hypnotherapy
sessions.
