The analgesic and anxiolytic treatments used carry numerous side effects and contraindications, limiting their use in ICU patients. Furthermore, pulmonary edema is a common cause of failure to wean from invasive mechanical ventilation. By reducing the occurrence of hypertension and tachycardia, hypnosis could be used as a therapeutic strategy to limit its incidence.

In the healthcare field, the patient's experience is closely linked to pain management. The dental profession often requires simple but invasive procedures, such as local anaesthetics for example, which are providers of discomfort and anxietý that cannot be ignored. Fear of the dentist or dental care is a widespread phenomenon in the general population, since dental anxiety is estimated to affect 36% of the population, and 12% are thought to suffer from extreme fear. Clinicians traditionally warn patients of pain before para-apical anesthesia. This is not surprising, since even today, during initial training for practitioners, patients are taught to be informed, or even warned, of the pain to come, for ethical reasons (i.e., not to lie to the patient) and \"so that he\u002Fshe can prepare for it\" (what we will refer to in the remainder of this protocol as classic communication). In the same way as when the patient has acute or induced pain, as is the case here (pain induced by the anesthetic injection), the practitioner also learns to ask if the patient is in pain, and how much. However, the use of pain-related words or a focus on pain can lead to significant anxiety, which in turn lowers the pain threshold. Conversely, the use of positive communication is important, as it can improve the patient's perception of pain and subjective experience. There is a body of literature on the impact of hypnotic communication on pain during painful treatment, but in fields other than dentistry (e.g. venous voice placement - Fusco 2020). To our knowledge, there is no scientific basis on the impact of the type of communication on patient pain in the field of dentistry. If, as we assume, we do indeed find similar results in other fields of medicine, this basis could serve as a basis for modifying the teaching and hence the practice of our young practitioners. We aim to compare the effects of two types of communication (hypnotic and conventional) on patients' pain, comfort and anxiety during para-apical anesthesia in dentistry. Anxiety and comfort were assessed prior to anesthesia on a numerical scale ranging from 0 (no anxiety or comfort) to 10 (greatest imaginable anxiety or comfort). This assessment of anxiety and comfort is asked again after anesthesia has been performed, as well as the pain experienced during anesthesia.",[122,123,28],"Communication Skills","Dental Care",[125,126,127,128,67],"Therapeutic communication","Dental care","Induced pain","Nocebo effect","2025-08-08",{"date":131,"type":41},"2025-08-11",{"date":133,"type":41},"2025-05-13",{"date":135,"type":22},"2026-05",{"name":137,"class":48},"University Hospital, Clermont-Ferrand",{"id":139,"slug":140,"hasResults":11,"nctId":141,"briefTitle":142,"officialTitle":143,"acronym":144,"eligibilityCriteria":145,"healthyVolunteers":11,"sex":146,"minAge":18,"maxAge":4,"enrollmentInfo":147,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":23,"phases":149,"briefSummary":150,"conditions":151,"keywords":156,"overallStatus":37,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":161,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":162,"startDateStruct":164,"completionDateStruct":166,"leadSponsor":168,"locationsCount":80},"100554697","pain-management-with-virtual-reality-hypnosis-100554697","NCT06502457","Pain Management With Virtual Reality Hypnosis","Pain Management With Virtual Reality Hypnosis in Parturients in the Latency or Cervical Ripening Phase","PreVR","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Parturient over 18\n* Parturient who speaks and understands French\n* Parturient hospitalised prior to labour\n* Membranes intact or ruptured\n* Spontaneous or induced labour\n* Parturient in latency phase\n* Term ≥ 37SA\n* END \\> 3\n* Parturient requiring active pain management (medicinal or non-medicinal)\n* Low-risk pregnancy\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Parturient under legal protection\n* Parturient with a hearing impairment\n* Parturient with visual impairment\n* Parturient with epilepsy\n* Parturient with psychiatric problems\n* Pathological pregnancy\n* Parturient with chronic pain\n* Parturient with addiction-related disorders\n* Parturient allergic to paracetamol\n* Parturient allergic to phloroglucinol\n* Parturient allergic to codeine\n* Parturient allergic to nalbuphine\n* Parturient allergic to orozamudol","FEMALE",{"count":148,"type":22},142,[25],"The latency phase corresponds to the first phase of the first stage of labour, during which the parturient feels regular, rhythmic uterine contractions that are often painful, with or without changes of the cervix.

It is an invasive procedure using the same approach as a lumbar puncture. Once the intrathecal puncture is performed, the intracranial pressure is measured in lateral decubitus via a pressure head. Dynamic tests (injection of 0.9% NaCl at a constant flow rate) are performed after recording the basal pressure. This type of test lasts 30 to 45 minutes in lateral decubitus. Patients with CAH have cognitive-behavioral disorders that can alter the gesture and its interpretation in case of movements or contractures. Movement artefacts lead to a longer recording time. The longer the test, the more the patients' tolerance tends to decrease. Moreover, the patient's feeling towards this test is important because it may have to be repeated. Pain, anxiety and patient comfort are essential parameters to consider.
