What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: hypnosis sessions
What this could lead to: If successful, this could offer a convenient, non-drug option to help manage chronic nerve pain and reduce psychological distress.
What could go wrong: This is a very small pilot study (30 people) with no control group for efficacy, so results may not be generalizable or show clear pain relief.
