Details and patient eligibility

About

Today, patient management in the context of scheduled surgery must meet new requirements. The understanding of surgical aggression, the evolution of anesthesia and surgery techniques have allowed the birth of the protocol of Improved Rehabilitation After Surgery. The objective is a pain-free surgery, with a minimum of risks, with a global management of the patient and an active participation.

In 2019, the Nice University Hospital developed this program. Other non-medicinal techniques could promote the evolution of this program such as integrative medicine with, in this study case, hypnosis. Since 2002, thanks to its widely recognized effectiveness in the treatment of pain and in helping with care, its use has developed. A hypnosis session, proposed in the preoperative period, would considerably reduce the patient's anxiety, postoperative pain, a better and faster recovery with an easier healing: objectives of the Improved Rehabilitation After Surgery program. The patient's satisfaction would also be improved thanks to his active participation, in a greater comfort, which the investigators want to demonstrate by our work.
