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.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Hypnosis enhanced cognitive behavioral therapy
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a drug-free way to manage pain early after spinal cord injury, potentially preventing chronic pain.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 88 participants, and the effects may not last or apply to everyone. Pain is subjective, so results may vary.
