Summary
This study tests whether three 15-minute hypnosis sessions can help people with persistent breathlessness from cancer, COPD, interstitial lung disease, or chronic heart failure feel more in control of their breathing. Researchers will measure changes using a standard questionnaire. The trial aims to enroll 82 adults who have not had hypnosis in the past year.
