What this Trial Is About
Researchers are evaluating whether hypnosis support can reduce anxiety in patients undergoing outpatient facial surgery under local anaesthesia. This study aims to improve medical management by comparing hypnosis techniques to conventional care in patients who have at least a mild level of anxiety before surgery. Previous trials suggest hypnosis may reduce pain and anxiety better than some drug treatments and other complementary therapies, but more rigorous studies are needed. Participants will be randomized into two groups: one receiving experimental hypnosis support during their surgical care, and the other receiving standard local anaesthesia without hypnosis. Before surgery, patients complete a State-Trait Anxiety Inventory to measure their anxiety level, and only those scoring 36 or higher are included. The study involves outpatient facial surgery performed under local anaesthesia in an ultra-short circuit setting. During the study, anxiety levels will be assessed using the Spielberger Self-Assessment Questionnaire from arrival to departure on the day of surgery. Researchers will also measure pain using a Visual Analogue Scale, the amount of local anaesthetic used, and the operating time. Participants will be monitored throughout the surgical day, with data collected to evaluate the effects of hypnosis on anxiety and surgical experience.
