What this Trial Is About
This feasibility study investigates the potential of hypnosis as a complementary therapy to improve attentional deficits and fatigue in patients with neurological diseases such as stroke, traumatic brain injury (TBI), and multiple sclerosis (MS). These patients often experience reduced spontaneous visual exploration and impaired functional independence despite current rehabilitation methods. By integrating hypnosis with standard care, and using EEG to monitor brain activity during hypnosis and sham-hypnosis sessions, this trial aims to evaluate the practicality, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of hypnosis in enhancing attention and reducing fatigue.
