Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The proposed study is designed to utilize a self-hypnosis DVD home-training program for parents to use with their children to teach self-hypnosis techniques for inducing relaxation and hypnotic analgesia. These relaxation techniques can be employed to manage anticipatory anxiety, distress, and pain during an invasive medical procedure, for example, voiding cystourethrography (VCUG). The study will examine the efficacy of this intervention for children undergoing VCUG procedures.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Pediatric care professionals and parents seek safe ways to make invasive medical procedures less stressful and traumatic for children. However, for unpleasant procedures that require child cooperation, this task becomes difficult. Home-training in self-hypnotic relaxation may provide an inexpensive, yet systematic method for improving the overall medical care of children undergoing invasive medical procedures. The proposed study is designed to utilize a self-hypnosis DVD home-training program for parents to use with their children to teach self-hypnosis techniques for inducing relaxation and hypnotic analgesia. The study will examine the efficacy of this intervention for children undergoing urethral catheterization for VCUG procedures. Parents will be instructed to watch the DVD and practice the self-hypnosis exercises every day for a week with their child prior to the upcoming procedure. Parents are encouraged to practice self-hypnosis during their child's VCUG procedure. Both parents and children will be asked to complete a series of questionnaires before and following the procedure.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

DVD self-hypnosis

This group will receive standard care, and parents/children in this group will receive in the mail a set of questionnaires and the DVD self-hypnosis training program. Parents will be asked to review these materials and practice the training at home with their children for one week leading up to the procedure Parents will also be asked to try to use these techniques with their child during his or her upcoming VCUG procedure.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

DVD Self-Hypnosis Training Program

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The DVD training program contains instructional materials developed by an experienced psychiatrist and psychologist at the Department of Psychiatry at Stanford University School of Medicine. Parents will be instructed to review these materials, watch the DVD, and practice the self-hypnosis exercises every day for a week with their child prior to the upcoming procedure. Parents are encouraged to practice self-hypnosis during their child's VCUG procedure.

Standard care

Children in this arm will receive standard care and parents/children will be mailed a set of questionnaires to complete before and after your child's upcoming VCUG.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION
