Hypnosis may ease ventilator weaning in ICU
NCT ID NCT07518498
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a short hypnosis session can help patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) wean off a breathing machine. Researchers will try hypnosis on 30 adults who have been on a ventilator for at least 48 hours and are ready to start breathing on their own. The goal is to see if hypnosis is feasible and whether it reduces pain and anxiety during the process.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
hypnosis session
What this could lead to
If it works, hypnosis could become a drug-free way to help ICU patients breathe on their own sooner, reducing side effects from sedatives.
What could go wrong
This is a very small feasibility study (30 people) that only checks if hypnosis is possible during weaning, not whether it actually works. Results may not apply to all ICU patients.
