Hypnosis and Attention in Patients With a Neurological Disease (Stroke, Traumatic Brain Injury and Multiple Sclerosis)

RecruitingNA

Sponsor: Luzerner Kantonsspital

Conditions: Stroke, Traumatic Brain Injury, Multiple Sclerosis

Interventions: Intervention Hypnosis

Countries: Switzerland

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.
