Hypnosis vs. sedation: which calms hand surgery patients more?
NCT ID NCT06185829
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares two methods to reduce anxiety during hand surgery: hypnosis (hypnoanalgesia) versus standard sedative medication (neuroleptanalgesia). Sixty-four adults having outpatient hand surgery will be randomly assigned to one of the two groups. The main goal is to see which approach better lowers anxiety during the procedure, measured by a simple stress scale.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Hypnoanalgesia (hypnosis) and neuroleptanalgesia (sedative drug Hypnovel)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a drug-free way to ease anxiety during hand surgery, potentially reducing reliance on sedatives.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 64 participants. Hypnosis may not work for everyone, and results may not apply to other surgeries.
