Summary

This study tested whether teaching self-hypnosis to people with severe COPD can reduce anxiety and shortness of breath during a pulmonary rehabilitation program. 133 adults took part, using hypnosis alongside their usual care. The goal was to see if this mind-body technique could help them feel calmer and breathe better, even after leaving the hospital.
