Study Summary

The aim of this study is to assess the feasibility of hypnosis sessions performed in teleconsultations and led by a nurse, for patients with peripheral chronic neuropathic pain. Acceptability, satisfaction and effects (on pain and psychological distress) are also evaluated, comparing patients who have benefited from teleconsultations and those who did not.

Study Description

Factors explaining peripheral chronic neuropathic pains are complex ; they require a personalized therapeutic strategy and multidisciplinary management. Among the recommended management, psychocorporal approaches such as hypnosis, are subject of recent interest. At the CHU de Bordeaux, the management of patients suffering from such chronic pains, consists of 5 hypnosis sessions, conducted face-to-face, each performed one month apart : the first session is carried out by a doctor and a hypnotherapist nurse and the 4 following sessions by the hypnotherapist nurse alone. However, it seems that this usual management is not easily accessible for patients who are geographically distant and/or who are unable to move due to excessive pain. In such situations, teleconsultations would avoid travel for these patients with low mobility and then would an interesting alternative to face-to-face consultations. Few studies have been done on hypnosis sessions led by teleconsultations. So, the whole purpose of this study is to compare the management of 15 patients by teleconsultations (experimental arm) with 15 other patients seen in face-to-face (control arm) to evaluate feasibility of teleconsultation in hypnosis.
