First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether using conversational hypnosis during a transoesophageal echocardiogram (a heart ultrasound done through the throat) can make the procedure more comfortable for patients. Researchers will enroll 150 adults and measure their comfort levels right after the exam. The goal is to see if a simple, non-drug technique can improve the patient experience.
