Using hypnosis to improve comfort during non-invasive ventilation for COPD and obese patients in intensive care

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study investigates the use of hypnosis as a complementary approach to enhance comfort and tolerance during non-invasive ventilation (NIV) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and/or obesity in an intensive care setting. The trial focuses on patients experiencing acute respiratory distress, where traditional pharmacological treatments may pose risks. By integrating hypnosis with NIV, the study aims to reduce discomfort and improve the overall effectiveness of the ventilation therapy. Participants will be closely monitored to assess the impact of hypnosis on their ability to tolerate NIV.
