Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
100 patients who are undergoing a cardiovascular surgery at the Liège University Hospital will be randomly assigned to four conditions (control, hypnosis, VR and VRH). Each participant will receive two sessions of one of the techniques: one the day before the surgery and one other session the day after, in intensive care units.
Physiological parameters will be taken and participants will fill in a questionnaire which evaluates their level of perceived immersion, their level of anxiety, fatigue, pain and relaxation. A short interview will also be conducted to give participants the opportunity to openly describe their experience.
This study will help to expand the knowledge regarding the influence of these techniques on patient's cognition, perception and sensation .

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Control group
\[Randomized\] Patients in control group will receive regular nursing care but no behavioral therapy intervention.
No interventions assigned to this group
Hypnosis (Hypn)
\[Randomized\] Patients will receive a hypnosis recorded audiotape.
Hypnosis (Hypn)
The hypnosis session will consist of a 20-minute hypnosis recording created by Marie-Elisabeth Faymonville and recorded by Anne-Sophie Nyssen, both professionals in hypnosis from University of Liège. The recording includes suggestions about relaxation, corporal sensations, respiratory techniques and visual imaginative stimuli about a beautiful landscape. With this tool, the hypnosis session is standardized for all patients and there is no need of a psychotherapist to deliver hypnosis.
Virtual reality (VR)
\[Randomized\] Patients will see a 3D movie with a beautiful landscape.
Virtual reality (VR)
VR sessions. This session will consist in using a head-mounted 3D graphical display with goggles. With this tool, participants will be able to visualize a 3D immersive landscape for 20 minutes consisting of a shed near a lake at sunrise followed by a relaxing moment in the clouds. The session ends on the lake's edge.
Virtual reality hypnosis (VRH)
\[Randomized\] Patients will see the same 3D film combined with a hypnotic voice.
Virtual reality hypnosis (VRH)
The combined tool sessions. Participants will be simultaneously subjected to the same hypnosis recording and 3D visual stimuli used in the Hypn and VR conditions.
