What this Trial Is About
This research aims to evaluate the effect of hypnosis on healing in patients undergoing Phase I periodontal therapy for chronic periodontal disease. The study focuses on how hypnosis, a traditional non-drug method to reduce stress and improve pain tolerance, might influence the healing process by controlling dental anxiety common during periodontal treatment. Researchers will measure changes in inflammatory markers in saliva to assess disease progression and recovery. Participants will receive hypnosis as part of their periodontal treatment. The study will compare cytokine levels in saliva at three time points: before treatment (day 0), immediately after treatment (day 0), and eight weeks later. This approach helps researchers understand how hypnosis might affect inflammation and healing during periodontal therapy. During the study, participants will undergo saliva testing to measure inflammatory mediator levels and receive hypnosis sessions alongside standard periodontal care. The primary outcome is the change in cytokine levels over the treatment period. Participants' progress and healing will be monitored for eight weeks after treatment to evaluate the effect of hypnosis on their periodontal condition.
