Brief Summary

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

The purpose of the study is to determine if hypnotizability can be reliably tested over the phone, without having to see or touch a patient. The scores from a new test for hypnotizability by phone will be compared to the scores from a standard in-person test, to make sure the results are similar.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Participants are randomized to first undergo phone-administered testing vs. in-person testing.
Primary Study Purpose

OTHER

Blinding Strategy

DOUBLE

Participants Investigators
Participants not told their hypnotizability score from the first exam prior to completing the second exam.

Study personnel performing the second hypnotizability test are masked to the first hypnotizability score. Two separate investigators will test each participant.

Study Groups

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

HIP First

Participants randomized to perform the in-person hypnotizability test first. This will be followed within 1 week with the by-phone rHIP test performed by a second, randomly-assigned investigator.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Hypnotizability testing

Intervention Type OTHER

Hypnotizability testing in-person vs. by phone. All participants will complete both conditions.

rHIP First

Participants randomized to perform the by-phone hypnotizability test first. This will be followed within 1 week with the in-peron HIP test performed by a second, randomly-assigned investigator.
