What this Trial Is About
Suturing is a daily practice in the emergency department, but it can be painful and stressful for patients. Hypnosis is increasingly used as a complement to the usual painkillers. The aim of our study was to investigate the impact of hypnosis on stitch placement in emergency department patients presenting with lacerations assessed by heart rate variability.
