Overview
Brief Summary
The main purposes of this study are as follows:
Compare the effect of painful stimuli with and without Hypnosis and Virtual Reality (HVR) on healthy volunteers.
- Use of sensors and captors to monitor physiological and neurophysiological changes by painful stimulus
- Monitor level of pain and anxiety with and without HVR
- Monitor level of unpleasantness of the pain with and without HVR
- Monitor level of Anxiety, Absorption, Dissociation, Satisfaction and Comfort with and without HVR
Detailed Description
The control of pain and anxiety in a hospital environment is usually managed by pharmacological means that involve a series of risks and side effects. For many years, non-drug solutions have been of interest to the public and the care staff. The benefits of hypnosis and of virtual reality are highlighted in many studies and today allow a different approach to medicine. It is important to invest in tools that are less expensive and also effective for the well-being of the patient and the care staff. The use of a blended solution using both clinical hypnosis and virtual reality has been only scarcely documented.
