Hypnosis and Attention in Patients With a Neurological Disease (Stroke, Traumatic Brain Injury and Multiple Sclerosis)
Sponsor: Luzerner Kantonsspital
Summary
This feasibility study investigates the potential of hypnosis as a complementary therapy for improving attentional deficits and reducing fatigue in patients with neurological conditions 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 approaches. 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 feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of hypnosis in enhancing attention and reducing fatigue.
