Study Overview
Brief Summary
The incidence of breast cancer and its mortality are reduced thanks in particular to early detection.
Often performed after a screening test, stereotactic macrobiopsies are used to characterize abnormalities detected on mammography. This anxiety-inducing and painful examination leads to significant physiological and psychological modifications for these women who logically apprehend the realization of this act.
Faced with this observation, investigators wondered what could be done to improve the experience of the patients during this examination.
Investigators were interested in hypnosis because its effectiveness as a complementary practice has been validated by numerous studies with benefits on pain and stress management.
However, today, there are no convincing results confirming which hypnosis method would be the best to manage patients' anxiety and pain during this examination.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
change in anxiety score
Time Frame: baseline (pre-intervention, during the intervention, immediatly after the intervetion) and at 8 days
Score (from 20 to 80) measured on the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for state anxiety (STAI-Y1), how respondent feels right now, at this moment. Total scores can be categorized into five levels: 1. \> 65 (very high), 2. from 56 to 65 (high), 3. from 46 to 55 (medium), 4. from 36 to 45 (low), 5. \< 35 (very low). Higher scores mean a worse outcome.
Secondary Outcomes
- staff examination experience(baseline (immediately after the intervention))
- AE/SAE reporting(baseline (during the intervention, immediatly after the intervetion) and at 8 days)
- Amount of nesthetic administered to the patiet during the procedure(baseline (immediately after the intervention))
- Examination duration(baseline (immediately after the intervention))
- change in anxiety score(baseline (pre-intervention, during the intervention, immediatly after the intervetion) and at 8 days)
- patient examination experience(baseline (immediately after the intervention))
- change in pain score(baseline (pre-intervention, during the intervention, immediatly after the intervetion) and at 8 days)
- anxiety score(baseline (pre-intervention))
