Interest of Learning Self-hypnosis for Patients Awaiting Lung Transplantation

Fondation Ophtalmologique Adolphe de Rothschild5 enrolled

Overview

Patients benefitting from a lung transplantation are subject to long-lasting and often severe post-operative pain. Self-hypnosis has been proven effective in the management of acute pain. The study hypothesis is that pre-operative training in self-hypnosis given to patients awaiting lung transplantation, will result in a reduction of post-operative pain one month after surgery.
