Randomized trial comparing hypnosis versus standard management on patient anxiety and pain during pelvic brachytherapy applicator removal
This study failed to demonstrate a substantial benefit of formal hypnosis on anxiety in patients undergoing pelvic brachytherapy applicator removal. But this study suggests that the use of hypnotic communication techniques enables a positive attitude to patient care, thus reinforcing the patient-caregiver relationship.
