Summary

This study tested whether a short hypnosis session before an ultrasound-guided hand injection could lower pain. Eighty adults received either hypnosis or standard care. Researchers measured pain using a visual scale to see if the 'magic glove' technique helps.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
hypnosis
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, drug-free way to reduce pain during hand injections.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with only 80 people. The hypnosis technique may not work for everyone or in other settings.
