Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 to 80 requiring outpatient hand surgery with locoregional anesthesia.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with contraindications to locoregional anesthesia or the sedatives used in the study will not benefit.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This clinical trial evaluates the effectiveness of two different sedation methods, hypnoanalgesia and neuroleptanalgesia, in patients undergoing hand surgery. Participants are randomly assigned to one of the two groups, both receiving locoregional anesthesia. The primary focus is on measuring changes in preoperative anxiety using a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) before and after surgery. Secondary objectives include assessing intraoperative pain, duration of surgery, patient satisfaction, and any adverse events.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved anxiety management and pain control during hand surgeries.
How similar studies have gone: Previous studies have shown promising results with hypnoanalgesia in various surgical settings, suggesting potential for success in this approach.
