About this study

Official title: Effect of the Use of HYPNO VR on Pain Experienced During Chest Drain Insertion in Resuscitation Vigilant Patients.

The main objective of this study is to evaluate, in vigilant resuscitation patients, the effect of the use of HYPNO VR on the pain felt during the insertion of a thoracic drain.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective, randomized, open-label, monocentric, prospective study of two parallel groups of patients in whom a chest tube is to be inserted:

  • Group 1: Insertion of the drain according to the usual management protocol.
  • Group 2: Insertion of the drain according to the usual management protocol supplemented by the use of a hypnosis software application (HYPNO-VR).

What is being measured

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

  1. Pain intensity progression

    The intensity of pain associated with chest drain insertion (difference between pain felt at the time of insertion and basal pain prior to the procedure) is the primary endpoint. This will be measured on a simple numerical scale Graduated from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain imaginable). Basal pain will be assessed 15 min before drainage, then immediately after insertion and after 4h, 8h, 12h, 16h, 20h and 24h.

    Measured: 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Evolution of pain measured on a simple numerical scale over 24 hours

    Evolution of pain over 24 hours measured on a simple numerical scale Graduated from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain imaginable). Basal pain will be assessed 15 min before drainage, then immediately after insertion and after 4h, 8h, 12h, 16h, 20h and 24h.

    Measured: 24 hours

  2. Pain distress measured on a simple numerical scale during the procedure and evolution from basal state

    Pain distress during the procedure and evolution from basal state. The patient will rate how much pain during the procedure was distressing or annoying on a simple numerical scale ranging from 0 (not at all) to 10 (very annoying or upsetting). It will be evaluated in the basal state 15 min before drainage, then immediately after insertion and after 24 hours.

    Measured: 24 hours

  3. Anxiety level measured on a simple numerical scale and the State-trait Anxiety Inventory scale (STAI-Y scale) during the procedure and evolution from basal status

    Anxiety level measured on a simple numerical scale graduated from 0 (no anxiety) to 10 (worst imaginable anxiety) and the State-trait Anxiety Inventory scale (STAI-Y scale) during the procedure and evolution from basal status. The simple numerical scale graded from 0 (no anxiety) to 10 (worst imaginable anxiety) will be evaluated in the basal state 15 min before drainage, then immediately after insertion and after 4h, 8h, 12h, 16h, 20h and 24h. The STAI-Y scale has 20 items evaluated from 1 to 4 according to its intensity (1= NO, 2 = rather NO, 3 = rather YES, 4 = YES) will be evaluated in the basal state 15 min before drainage then immediately after insertion and after 24 hours.

    Measured: 24 hours

  4. Evaluation of sleep quality simple numerical scale graduated from 0 (very bad) to 10 (very good) on the first night after insertion of the drain and evolution compared to usual sleep quality.

    Measured: 24 hours

  5. Drug consumption during the 24 hours following the insertion of the drain: analgesics (paracetamol, Tramadol, Nefopam, Morphine), Bromazepam and Zopiclone.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing HypnoVR in people with Pneumopathy, run by GCS Ramsay Santé pour l'Enseignement et la Recherche at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Jul 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Pain intensity progression (time frame: 24 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 Jul 2024.
