Summary

This study tested whether a hypnosis session before a coronary angiography (a procedure to look at heart arteries) can lower anxiety and reduce the need for sedative drugs. 169 adults scheduled for the procedure took part. Researchers measured anxiety levels, pain, and vital signs to see if hypnosis helped.

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 effective, hypnosis could offer a drug-free way to manage anxiety during heart procedures.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with 169 participants. Results may not apply to everyone, and hypnosis may not work for all patients.
