First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a treatment called Hypnosis Enhanced Cognitive Therapy (HYPCT) for people with new spinal cord injuries who are in rehab. It compares HYPCT to standard pain education to see if it can lower pain intensity and prevent chronic pain. Participants will attend four sessions and complete surveys over seven months. The goal is to find a safe, non-drug way to manage pain early on.
