About this study

Chimiotherapy produces neuropathies injuries to 30% to 70% cases. A third of those patients keeps suffering from this side effects disabilities and their quality of life is seriously affected.

Hypnosis, as a non-invasive tool without physical side effects, might be used to relieve them.

the purpose of this trial based on our own experience, is to demonstrate the value of using hypnosis and self-hypnosis in chimiotherapy- induced chronic neuropathies.

The aim will be to sustainably improve the quality of life by expanding self-management of pain and motor function side effect.

Being tested
Nurse interview, Hypnosis sessions

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Nurse interviewBehavioural

    Also called Listening time

    Personal interview with nurses to evaluate the relief of neuropathic pains with the reference treatment. (If necessary send to the medical team ) It's a listening time around neuropathic pain which altered the quality of life.

  • Hypnosis sessionsBehavioural

    Hypnosis sessions with a nurse or psychologist, with deepening sessions to facilitate self-hypnosis learning.

What is being measured

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

    Measured: Day 84

  1. Measure at 12 weeks (D84) benefits of hypnosis and self-hypnosis on the motor dimension of the quality of life of patients with chronic peripheral neuropathies arising from a cancer chemotherapy and inadequately relief with reference treatments.

    Measured: Day 84

  2. Measure at 12 weeks (D84) benefits of hypnosis and self-hypnosis on the loss of autonomy of patients with chronic peripheral neuropathies arising from a cancer chemotherapy and inadequately relief with reference treatments.

    Measured: Day 84

  3. Measure benefits of hypnosis on the neuropathic pain intensity

    Measured: Day 28, day 56 and Day 84.

  4. Measure benefits of hypnosis on a psychotropic treatments

  7. Measure benefits of hypnosis on electrophysiological abnormalities related to neuropathy

    Measured: Day 84

  8. Measure benefits of hypnosis on self- hypnosis in the experimental group

    Measured: Day 28, Day 56 and D84
