Overview

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of hypnosis, as add on therapy, on patients requiring a lumbar puncture (LP) as part of their medical management.

Detailed Description

This study will follow the zelen's methodology randomization. It is an add-on study design.

  1. The study will be presented to patients as an assessment of their comfort during the LP. The intervention group is not presented to the patient.
  2. Patients are asked to sign the consent of the standard of care group.
  3. Randomization into two equally sized groups:
  • Intervention arm : LP with complementary hypnoanalgesia
  • Control arm : LP without complementary hypnoanalgesia
  1. Patients who have been randomized into the control group, will have LP according to the standard of care.

Patients who have been randomized into the hypnoanalgesic group will be informed about the hypnoanalgesia intervention and then asked to sign the consent of the hypnosis group.

  • if the patient accepts, he will benefit from hypnosis during LP.
  • if the patient refuses, he will re-join the control group without hypnosis.

The physicians performing LP will be the same in both groups. A phone call follow-up is scheduled on day 3 and 7 after intervention.

The maximum pain experienced will be assessed in the immediate post procedure using a Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS). The NPRS is a 10 points scale, ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (maximal pain).

Secondary Outcomes

  • Comfort felt during LP(Immediately at the end of LP procedure)
  • Acceptation of hypnosis(Day1)
  • State and Trait anxiety before LP(Before randomization)
  • Assess pain at Day 3 and Day 7(Three days and then seven days after the LP.)
