About this study

Official title: Comparaison Between Virtual Reality Hypnosis and Drug Induced Sedation in Veinous Access Device Implantation

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare in patients who need an implantation of a veinous access device the sedation with anesthesiologic drugs and with hypnosis using virtual reality material. The main question it aims to answer is:

  • is hypnosis using virtual reality as safe and powerfull than usual anesthesiologic drugs.

Participants will complete a preoperative and postoperative questionnaire. They will be contacted by phone pre and postoperatively.

If there is a comparison group: Researchers will compare drug induced sedation and hypnosis induced by virtual reality to see if they are similar in efficacy and sides effects.

Read the detailed description

This study has two arms. All patients has the same preparation to surgery. They had lorazepam 2.5 mg 30 minutes before the surgery. In operative theater, they are randomly chosen between anesthetic protocol (sufentanyl 5mg intravenous) or digital sedation (Sedakit(R) ) with hypnosis induced by virtual reality.

Patients complete an anxiety test (hamilton scale) 2 days before the surgery and 2 days after the surgery. They are called by an external psychiatrist 1 day before the surgery and 3 days after to evaluate the anxiety link to the procedure.

What is being measured

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

  1. successful implantation of a veinous access device

    we evaluate if the veinous access was implanted successfully with digital or drug sedation

    Measured: immediately after surgery

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. patient comfort

    we evaluate if the patient needed additional pain killers during the procedure

    Measured: during the surgery

  2. implantation lenght

    we evaluate the length of the implantation in minutes with the drug or digital sedation

    Measured: during the surgery

  3. feeling lenght

    we evaluate the length of the implantation felt by the patient using drug or digital sedation

    Measured: immediately after the surgery

  4. post operative anxiety using the hamilton anxiety scale

    we do a post operative test to evaluate the level of anxiety after the procedure

    Measured: 2 days after the surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Sedakit (R) using hypnosis induced by the virtual reality device and drug intervention in people with Oncology, run by Centre Hospitalier Regional de Huy at 1 site in Belgium.

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 1 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Belgium. 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?

successful implantation of a veinous access device (time frame: immediately after surgery). 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 18 Apr 2023; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
