What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Subject rating of Breathing Discomfort (affective component of dyspnea)

    Subjects will rate breathing discomfort using a visual analog scale at baseline (pre-intervention), during the intervention (hypnosis/ visual distraction) and after intervention (recovery) while subject will be submitted to the laboratory model of dyspnea for 5 minutes (three runs of laboratory dyspnea (baseline, intervention and recovery).

    Measured: continuous measurement for 5 minutes

  2. Subject rating of dyspnea intensity (sensory component of dyspnea)

    Subjects will rate dyspnea intensity using a visual analog scale at baseline (pre-intervention), during the intervention (hypnosis/ visual distraction) and after intervention (recovery) while subject will be submitted to the laboratory model of dyspnea for 5 minutes (three runs of laboratory dyspnea (baseline, intervention and recovery).

    Measured: continuous measurement for 5 minutes
