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

Study Overview

Brief Summary

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.
