Summary

This study tests whether nurse-delivered hypnosis before and during breast cancer surgery can lower the amount of opioid painkillers patients need after surgery. About 225 adults having breast surgery will be randomly assigned to receive hypnosis plus standard anesthesia, standard anesthesia alone, or both. The goal is to see if hypnosis can reduce opioid use for two weeks after surgery, potentially easing side effects and addiction risk.
